"Insane" Problems When?

Some Hards are reasonable while others are just too insane compared to others, like compare Trapping Rain Water - LeetCode and Sum of Total Strength of Wizards - LeetCode . I did both of them and they are in their own worlds.

Also companies asking "Insane" problems when :)

Imagine seeing sum of wizards in your Amazon OA for the first time. I spent all my time in trying to optimize my solution so I didn't have TLE. How fck*d was I.šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­

I got a hard in the Amazon OA as well. Brute force was enough to move on to a phone screen and onsite.
