The average time to complete a task or answer a question is 10 to 15 minutes.

The average time to complete a performance review is 2-3 hours.

There are 13 sections in total. One task is provided for the solution (out of 5
in the section) at the choice of the interviewer. It is possible to provide a
second chance (the second task out of 5) if the first one causes difficulty,
with a score adjustment by a factor of ~ 0.5.

I have a clear focus on time-to-market and don't prioritize technical debt. And I took part in the Pre-Sale/RFX activity as a System Architect, assessment efforts for Mobile (iOS-Swift, Android-Kotlin), Frontend (React-TypeScript) and Backend (NodeJS-.NET-PHP-Kafka-SQL-NoSQL). And I also formed the work of Pre-Sale as a CTO from Opportunity to Proposal via knowledge transfer to Successful Delivery.
