After first round, a famous quant hedge fund asked to solve four questions in an 8-hour written exam. These problems were excruciating painful. The questions are tougher than the one I have even seen in USAMO math problems. Boy, these quant managers are insane to demand to solve these kinds of problems. Moreover, I have to sign a stupid document not to reveal these math questions to anyone. ARghhhhhhhhhhh

What the hell was the point of this thread if you couldn't tell us these purportedly "excruciating" questions. What fund were you interviewing at?
