Interview Prompt

A scheduling conflict graph arrives as `adj_list`, where entry `i` lists the nodes that clash with node `i`. Return whether the nodes can be divided into two groups so that no clash falls inside a group.

Summary

Can this crowd be split into two perfectly separated groups?

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
