Just a hopefully humorous personal anecdote.<p>I have been preparing and taking interviews for full stack the past few months with not much luck.<p>Head is filled with DP, palindromes, zigzagging binary trees and other perfectly useless stuff.<p>To a person with a hammer, the world's a nail, you know.<p>Today is my birthday.<p>Wife, a Chinese said will make a Fan Bing. Its a pancake that is flipped while cooking. Because its flipped, my luck will also flip and I will have good luck from today - so says my wife.<p>At this point the affected algo mind took over: flip once, ok. What if she ends up flipping two times? Then, back to bad luck!<p>So an odd number of flips is good, even number no good. So, told my wife to make sure its flipped odd number of times.<p>Will report back the results in a few days. Small sample size, I know, but something better than nothing....
