two SD rounds is a lot. did both interviewers feel equally prepared or was there a quality gap?

disposable email SD is unusual. did they want you to actually design the bloom filter or just mention it?

the tail -n problem is a classic. did they give you the file API signature or did you have to define it yourself?

they gave the API: read N bytes, move pointer, get file size. you figured out the algorithm

random queue equality comparison is an interesting follow-up. same round as the implementation?

same round. implementation, then equality, then thread safety. 60 min total
