There is a one-dimensional garden of length n. In each position of the n length garden, a fountain has been installed. The fountain at the ith position has a value a[i] (1 <= i <= n) that describes the coverage limit of fountain i. A fountain can cover the range from the positon max((i-a[i]),1) to min ((i + a[i]),n). In the beginning, all the fountains are switched off. Determine the minimum number of fountains you need to activate so that the whole n length garden will b covered by water.

The first interviewer was very unfriendly and the second interviewer was friendly. Due to my statistics background, they both asked some statistical questions including design of experiments for an effective advertising campaign, comparison of two survey results, coding questions and how to handle multicollinearity in predictors and large dimensional data, etc.
