Yeah, fixing other people's code takes longer, most of the time. I did frequently have to fix bugs in other people's game code, though I've done games long enough that usually I would know how to dig and find the issue pretty quickly. It didn't typically take more than a day or two to find such bugs, even if the original developer (working on their own code) had tried to find it for weeks and had given up. I could always come in with fresh eyes, and I know most of the ways that people write games, good and bad. In one case I had their "intractable" bug fixed in less than a half hour, having never seen their code before. So I think I'd probably still pass that interview question, though I'm not looking for a job right now. ;)
