I received a link to a collaborative coding platform where I was asked to solve different problems. It was a long time ago and I don't remember exactly how it was

Question 1
It was a long time ago and I don't remember exactly how it was
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Toptal (Londres, Inglaterra) in Aug 2022
Interview
3 stage:
- Quick chat with someone (I suspect to check you are real)
- 1 hour with an engineer to do fairly standard live coding exercise.
- Take-home assignment for an entire week to build an app and backend server, followed by a 1 hour review interview.
The first two steps are fairly standard and to be expected, however the assignment will consume all of your time for the week, they expect you to build a shippable app by the end of it. This expectation is really pushing the bounds of what is legal, really, unless you are desperate for work, save yourself the hassle and don't even start interviewing.

Question 1
There were no questions as such, just solve 3 simple problems in code.
Followed by build an entire app and backend.
Asked me to remember everything I did on the bogus algorithm questions 3 days ago... then asked me to write a function to get change in python. Turned his camera and mic off while I babbled on about how to solve the problem to myself. After 15 minutes informed me because I didn't come up with a working solution they wouldn't be moving forward.
