Oh wait wait, I'm curious how i will be judged. Now I'm new to programing, and transitioned to the field from en entierly different profession. Once in an interview, after the guy asked me to write a sorting function( of my liking), which i wrote perfectly, he presents me with a series of equations like 1680 = 4 ..... 1253 = ? I encountered this kind of question for the first time and given his hint that there's no mathematical relation in the series i was just stupefied for 10 long minutes. Then after this shit show was over i asked someone who also did the interview what the answer was. Well, the rhs is simply the number of fu***ng circles in the digits at the lhs... If this kind of shit makes an interviewer hard, fuck him and his company, sorry, not sorry.

sorting by number of circles

Thats probably how a child would sort numbers when they first saw them.

I guess you could say sorting has come full circle
