Interview Prompt
You are replaying a recorded dice game from its log of rolls. The values in `rolls` go to the `num_players` players in turn by seat, each value added to that player's running total until someone reaches `target`. Return every player's final score, indexed by player.
Summary
The first to cross the line ends the game, mid-round or not.
How This Interview Works
- Read the vague prompt (just like a real interview)
- Ask clarifying questions to the AI interviewer
- Write and run your Python against test cases
- Answer the interviewer's follow-up questions, then get a hire or no-hire decision
