- Misunderstanding the premise of a question: This is a case where you get impatient and confuse the intent of the question with the premise. What to do: If you don't understand or have any ambiguity, ask questions first (don't be afraid to have a dialogue with the interviewer). It is also effective to simply rephrase the problem statement in your own words and check it.
