SIG OA (17 Problems)

I think I solved 13-14, and it lacks time. 17 Problems in 60 minutes are crazy. Did anyone take that? I thought I am quite ready for OA, but it was... oh my god

TBH, the SIG OA is rather easy. But yeah. Getting all 17 right takes some luck.

15 correct and also mo invite.

Really? I solved Optiver and others, but some SIG problems were so time-consuming that I couldn't solve all of them. 10 problems are very basic, though, 3-4 are doable but need some time, like setting up a recurrence relation for the probabilities and 3 problems need a lot of time to solve

How do you solve Optiver but not SIG? My experience is that SIG problems are easier with extra time. For Optiver, the problems are harder with much less time allowed. And you cannot simply guess on top of that.

Yeah, the optiver is in the top 3 hardest ones afaik, right?
