The coding exercises had a time limit on them, and I found one challenging and interesting, but the ideal solution on the second problem was actually fairly difficult unless you're someone that studies leetcode problems all the time. Of course, it's algorithmic academic nonsense that has no practical bearing on actual day to day work in any job like this.
