I was told to prepare for an interview with Advent of Code.
I was just wondering if anyone knows of any good interview questions they were asked for advent of code, or if anyone had recommendations for questions I should practice?

I’d start with this year and do a few. I’ve done decently in my career, but I gave up after finishing 18 on 2021 because they were starting to take really long.
This is why I went here to ask, some of these questions take many hours to complete.
You should be able to get up to 10-15 for each year without spending too much time. I’d prep a little bit, but I wouldn’t try too hard.
Depending on the year, Advent takes you through a different series of common interview questions. For example, the first or second of 2020 was the 3sum problem.
Take the advice in the spirit offered, and go through the questions for 2021. They’re well constructed and fair.
Thanks for the advice! I'll go through those.
