Coding problem2
1. Puzzle
if you have a pizza, what is the maximum number of slices you can split it in, if you can only cut it once along the radius.
Problem approach
Tip 1 : the actual problem after the interview i figured out consisted of a circular paper
Tip 2 : the solution can be found on the net, but i remember it consisted of something which involved folding it 3-4 times so as to maximise efficiency of single cut, but a pizza cannot be folded, which is why i didn't think of it that way
2. Ansible based Questions
I was asked about ansible, since i had worked on ansible in CI/CD (devops), before that.
Problem approach
You need knowledge and practice of such specific technologies
although ansible is easy and newest in the market
Here's your problem of the day 
Solving this problem will increase your chance to get selected in this company
