This is why I would never get through Google's interviewing process.
I understand that some people are bad at doing these types of tasks on the spot.
But what about training yourself to get better at working like this, by working through exercises, having friends help you out, etc?
Maybe it's unfair of me to comment because I'm not in the same boat, but surely there is a way for most people who are currently inherently bad at this class of problem to work on getting better at it, rather than just always assuming that a company like Google or Rethink would never hire them.
