Interview Prompt

A workout tracker logs each session as a record carrying the activity `name` and its duration in `minutes`. Given the full log and a short list of activity names you care about, return the total minutes spent on just those activities.

Summary

Not every minute counts. Add up the ones that do.

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
