What if a candidate notes that web hits can come from all parts of the planet and every timezone and therefore "same day" for a particular end user does NOT overlap with the "same day" of the log files and thus immediately throws into question the meaning of '(a) they came on both days'. Many users could visit the site multiple times in one of their days, but recorded as two separate days in two separate log files. This certainly adds some complexity to the question and might not even be something the interviewer considered in the first place.
- ZoomZoomZoom 3y agoGreat to see I'm not the only one here who isn't fixated on 'how' so strongly that they've stopped asking 'why'!
- bjornlouser 3y agoExactly. It's a trick interview question since the minute you deliver this report on 'Loyal Customers' someone will want to increase the complexity of the 'unique' page visitation constraint to include information that will never be available in the log file.
