Despite that, it was sad how many people not only couldn't complete this test, but frankly didn't even come close.
This has been my experience as well. Our options were:
1. Given a merge sort algorithm psuedo-code, implement it.
2. A simple binary search implementation.
3. Implement a singly linked list that support basic operations.
Out of 50 or so people, maybe 3-5 people were able to complete it during a 30-45 minutes pair programming session.
