Interview Prompt

Each row of `rate_limits` is one client's rate-limit window with its allowed and blocked request counts. Which clients had at least one window where more than a quarter of the requests were blocked?

Summary

Every gate keeps a record of who it stopped.

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 SQL against a real database
  4. Answer the interviewer's follow-up questions, then get a hire or no-hire decision
