Logic questions surrounding conditional probability mostly. i.e. if x event happens with y things going on in the background whats the probability of it occuring. Something along those lines, mostly testing how quickly you'll react / gauge the situation when markets change

(3rd round) There is a mental math question at the end, pay attention. Usually they like multiplication with numbers that both have two digits. They only give you 5 seconds to prepare, but notice that you have 3 extra seconds at the end of these 5 seconds (the extra time is to give you time to set properly in front of the camera), so in total you have 8 seconds, and this time should be sufficient for you.
