Interview Prompt

We're distributing a list of integer `values` across a rotating set of `containers`, each named 'set', 'list', or 'tuple'. Gather every occurrence of each distinct value into its own group, then hand the groups out to the containers one at a time, wrapping back to the first container after the last, tagging each group with the container it landed in.

Summary

Each face waits its turn as the wheel comes back around.

How This Interview Works

  1. Read the vague prompt (just like a real interview)
  2. Ask clarifying questions to the AI interviewer
  3. Write and run your Python against test cases
  4. Answer the interviewer's follow-up questions, then get a hire or no-hire decision
