As an interviewer I also like to follow the thought process. I have had candidates who could solve a lot of questions pretty quickly but as soon as the question deviated a little from the regular path they were completely lost and had no ability to adapt. I am really happy with stories that follow a path like "Tried A, didn't work because of X, then tried B, didn't work because of Y, then tried C and things came together".
