These are some questions to give a sense of what you know about FP. This is more of a gauge of what you know, it's not necessarily expected that a single person will breeze through all questions. For each question, give your answer if you know it, say how long it took you, and say whether it was 'trivial', 'easy', 'medium', 'hard', or 'I don't know'. Give your answers in Haskell for the questions that involve code.

Please be honest, as the interviewer may do some spot checking with similar questions. It's not going to look good if you report a question as being 'trivial' but a similar question completely stumps you.

Here's a bit more guidance on how to use these labels:

L1 cache reference ......................... 0.5 ns
Branch mispredict ............................ 5 ns
L2 cache reference ........................... 7 ns
Mutex lock/unlock ........................... 25 ns
Main memory reference ...................... 100 ns             
Compress 1K bytes with Zippy ............. 3,000 ns  =   3 µs
Send 2K bytes over 1 Gbps network ....... 20,000 ns  =  20 µs
SSD random read ........................ 150,000 ns  = 150 µs

Read 1 MB sequentially from memory ..... 250,000 ns = 250 µs

Here is a checklist to follow if you want maximum battery life -- for instance if you're about to get on a long plane flight.
