The figuring it out is entirely the point of the interview. When I interview someone, I need to work on a problem with them. The simpler the problem we can work on together, the more likely that I'll learn what they're like to work with, not whether or not they've memorized some trivia like how to implement quicksort in 10 lines of Python.
