In our journey to understand the advanced practical applications of the queue data structure in Python, we are now prepared to apply our knowledge to solve some common interview questions based on queue operations. Today's session is focused on working through two such problems. Let's get cracking!

In the domain of data structure manipulation, understanding how we can handle queue operations efficiently is fundamental. For our first problem, consider a queue of integers. Our task is to reorganize the elements by interleaving the first half of the queue with the second half. Essentially, if our queue initially is [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6], after interleaving it becomes [1, 4, 2, 5, 3, 6]. The problem tests how we can shrewdly manipulate a queue data structure to reorder its elements in a specific manner.

Problem 1: Naive Approach and Its Pitfalls

A naive approach to solving this problem might be to dequeue all the elements into another data structure like a list or a stack, perform the reordering operation, and then enqueue the elements back into the queue. However, this method introduces non-optimal time and space complexity due to the extensive use of auxiliary space, and it doesn't adhere to the spirit of the queue data structure, which typically only allows FIFO (First-In-First-Out) operations.
