As someone that does interviewing, I am not looking for one specific “right” answer. Acknowledging the time constraint and pressure of an interview, I find it acceptable to get non-optimal solutions. As long as they’re able to come up with a reasonable solution and can recognize it as being non-optimal, and offer ideas for how to optimize it outside of an interview setting. I’m not sure how common this way of thinking is, but I wanted to point it out since many of the comments here make it sound like only the best answer will do.
