Tech companies like Google have asked this question during interviews. A cat is hiding in one of five boxes that are lined up in a row. The boxes are numbered 1 to 5. Each night the cat hides in an adjacent box, exactly one number away. Each morning you can open a single box to try to find the cat. Can you win this game of hide and seek? What is your strategy to find the cat? What if there are n boxes? Watch the video for the solution.
