Write a function that finds one duplicate number from a list of numbers 1..n.
The function should satisfy the following performance objectives:
Runtime complexity: O(n*log(n))
Space complexity: O(1)

Write a function that accepts a rotated cycle of alphabetically sorted strings
and returns the index what should be the first element if the elements were not
rotated.

I believe this may be the Fisher-Yates shuffle, but I'm not sure.

This problem challenged me: without using division, write a function that maps a
list of integers into a list of the product of every integer in the list except
for the integer at that index.
This was another greedy algorithm. The take-away is to first solve the problem
using brute force; this yields an algorithm with O(n*(n-1)) time
complexity. Instead of a quadratic time complexity, a linear time complexity can
be achieved my iterating over the list of integers twice:
1. Compute the products of every number to the left of the current number.
2. Compute the products of every number to the right of the current number.
Finally, iterate over each of these and compute lhs * rhs. Even though I've
solved this problem before, I used InterviewCake's hints because I was stuck
without them.
I should revisit this problem in a few weeks.

Write a function that returns the highest product of three integers within a
list of integers. This solution uses a greedy algorithm that solves for the
answer in linear time. The space complexity is constant.

Write a function that returns the maximum profit that a trader could have made
in a day. I solved this using a greedy algorithm which constantly sets the
maximum profit by tracking the lowest price we've encountered.

Using a counting sort to sort a list of values in linear time.

Write a function to count the frequency of words in a sentence. Ignore casing
for words; ignore punctuation.

Write a predicate to test whether any permutation of an input string is a
palindrome.

I'm not sure if this commit breaks everything in my monorepo. I think it
will.
Why am I doing this? Perhaps it's a bad idea. I don't fully understand how
readTree works. My ignorance is costing me hours of time spent debugging. In an
effort to better understand readTree, I'm removing the default values for my Nix
expression parameters, which I believe have preventing errors from surfacing.

Write a predicate that tests whether two films in a list of films can exactly
fill the duration of a flight.

Write a predicate that tests if a given list of integers, zs, is a possible
interleaving of two other lists, xs and ys.

Write a function merging two sorted arrays into one sorted array.

InterviewCake asks "How would you handle punctuation?". Without precise specs
about what that entails, I'm supporting sentences ending with punctuation.

Wrote a function to reverse the words in a list of characters. A word is a
space-delimited strings of characters.
The trick here is to first reverse the entire string and then reverse each word
individually.

Write a function to merge meeting times. Added an in-place solution, which the
"Bonus" section suggested attempting to solve.
- Added some simple benchmarks to test the performance differences between the
in-place and not-in-place variants. To my surprise, the in-place solution was
consistently slower than the not-in-place solution.

I had a spare fifteen minutes and decided that I should tidy up my
monorepo. The work of tidying up is not finished; this is a small step in the
right direction.
TL;DR
- Created a tools directory
- Created a scratch directory (see README.md for more information)
- Added README.md to third_party
- Renamed delete_dotfile_symlinks -> symlinkManager
- Packaged symlinkManager as an executable symlink-mgr using buildGo
