Scientist Interview Questions

"The questions you are asked in an interview for a position as a scientist will depend greatly on field of science you intend to work in. Generally, interviewers will be interested in your formal education, field of study and specialization, work, internship, and research experience, scientific writing skills, and interest in the subject matter. Expect to be asked technical questions that pertain to the knowledge needed to perform the duties of the job. While there are some positions open to scientists who possess associates' or bachelors' degrees, most jobs will require you to have at least a masters' degree with the majority requiring you to have a doctorate."

I cannot reveal the questions I got asked. But here's some that has very similar flavor: 1) Check if an integer is a palindrome (do not convert the integer to string) 2) Given 2 sorted arrays of integers, code to find a number from each array such that their sum are closest to some integer K? 3) What is the degree of freedom for lasso?
