Interview Prompt

An analyst replaying a dice game's log, where `rolls` holds one list of face values (1 to 6) per round, credits every roll with its own face value toward that face's total. She wants the face with the highest total, provided that total clears `threshold`.

Summary

Roll enough dice and one number always runs away with it.

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
