Listed down the user's needs and based on that started with the features of the time machine.
I couldn't go further because of time constraints."

"This is a Fermi problem — an estimation or approximation problem with limited information and back-of-the-envelope calculations. There's no right answer: interviewers want to understand how you think and how well you can explain your reasoning, rather than what you already know.
Recall the formula for Fermi problems:
Ask clarifying questions
Catalog what you know
Make equation(s)
Think about edge cases to add to equation
**Breakdown components of your equat"

Unfortunately, there's no formula for technical questions, but some general tips are:
Use analogies when you can

"This is another Diagnosis problem. To answer this question, we suggest you use our framework (along with the TROPIC method) to be as thorough as possible. The framework is as follows:
Ask clarifying questions
List potential high level reasons
Gather Context (TROPIC)Time
Region
Other features / products (internal)
Platform
Industry / Competition
Cannibalization
Establish a theory of probable cause
Test theories
Propose solutions
Summarize
