A top competitive programmer from the Codeforces/CodeChef realm (with almost zero prior interview experience) takes on some of the hardest interview questions known to Google to find out... how good is competitive programming, really?

(yes, lowest solve rate doesn't necessarily mean hardest, but it's the best I could do, and they were pretty hard anyway)
