Interview Prompt

A payments platform wants to know how much online spend concentrates among its biggest earners. Looking only at online payments, total each merchant's online amount, take the `top_n` merchants by that total, and return the average of the online payments belonging to those merchants as a single float.

Summary

The top performers are hiding in the data.

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
