I am looking for a good book/website for prepare for interview questions, specifically those logic/game type questions that cover probability, basic game theory, etc ... I believe I saw a similar thread in the past but I did not find it in a search. thanks.
i had an interview today with a chicago firm. this was for a job though and they don't require a capital deposit and all that. much bigger than that. the questions were simple, but some stuff I had no knowledge about. kind of awkward. one question was 1USD=110 Yen 1Euro=1.50USD 1euro=160 yen how would you a produce a riskless arbitrage out of this. I didn't know this one. I think I did fairly well on the others. I hope I get the second interview, it would be awesome.
I just tell them that I read Reminiscences of a Stock operator when I was a kid, and played a lot of chess growing up. Both True...and work I guess.
1. Pay 160 Yen for 1 Euro 2. Sell 1 Euro for 1.5 USD 3. Sell 1.5 USD for 165 Yen The result is that you started with 160 Yen and ended up with 165 Yen, making 5 Yen risk free.
