Interview Prompt

In chat_msgs a reply records who wrote it in sender_id and who it answers in reply_to, and the community team treats a reply between two users as one conversation whichever of them sent it. Report how many unique two-person conversations there are and how many different users wrote at least one reply.

Summary

A conversation reads the same from either side.

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
