      Neutral experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Jane Street in Jun 2012

      Interview

      The interviewer was quite nice. He asked my name and confirmed the position I was applying for and then we went straight into mental maths questions. I'd make sure to anyone who gets a phone interview to be very sharp on mental arithmetic and probability

      Interview questions [3]

      Question 1

      Two people painting a house, one on his own takes 1hr and the other takes 2hrs, how long does it take for both to paint the house. After my answer he asked how confident I was then said that I could bet on my answers, £1 if I got it right, -£1000 if I got it wrong - should I take the bet.
