Interview Prompt

An on-call engineer traced an inflated row count to a job that treats everything numeric in its JSON-decoded `items` as an integer count. Return only the genuine integers from `items`.

Summary

Not everything in this list belongs here.

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
