First one was to write a C function to determine if you are on a little or big Endian system.
Second one was to implement an atoi function. ie given the string "887CD64Q7" you would return the integer 887647.
The last one I'm sure I would have gotten if I had done some leetcode exercises. I actually came up with the solution just as time was running out and was able to verbalize it but didn't get time to code it.
The question was to make a copy of a single linked list, but the linked list doesn't just have a next node, it also has a pointer to a random node.
So say linked list looks like: A -> B -> C -> NULL
A could also have a pointer to itself, B or C as it's "random" pointer, B to A itself or C, etc.
Once I figured it out it seemed trivial, but in the moment I froze, probably due to not really ever doing problems like this. I will definitely be doing a bunch of leetcode and/or other similar exercises for a couple months before applying anywhere else.

I'm from MN from childhood until about a year ago when I moved to Irvine, so I don't have any strong ties here. I would move to Bay Area or Seattle or wherever for the right opportunity.

Definitely. Lesson learned.
