Here is a paper which gives a set of coding puzzles which could be useful for technical interviews in data science.
The paper introduces a new type of programming challenge called programming puzzles, as an objective and comprehensive evaluation of program synthesis, and release an open-source dataset of Python Programming Puzzles (P3).
Each puzzle is defined by a short Python program f, and the goal is to find an input x which makes f output True.
