Interview Prompt

We're profiling API endpoints, each mapped to a numeric score, and we want the heaviest hitters. Given that dict and an integer `n`, return the `n` endpoints with the largest scores, biggest first.

Summary

Most of them do not matter. The few that do stand out.

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
