Hi Ben and thanks for reaching out!

Whilst I agree with you about the importance of knowing this topic, I'm trying to understand why the implementation of this knowledge during 45-60 minutes interviews is this important. I'm talking about problems as egg drop puzzle or knapsack problem etc. because this kind of situations may (very) rarely occur in real life apps.
