Not during an interview, though. The interviewer would see it as trolling (at best), and you would fail the interview. And for a good reason! Because as an engineer (and an intelligent person in general) you must be able to separate what is essential from the non-essential for the subject in question. For instance, the physics or the physiology of the process of pushing a key on a keyboard is probably not what the question was about, nor do those things in fact have much to do with typing, even (which you can do on a touchscreen or using the mouse).

- philsnow 4y agoThis answer reminds me of the blog post of the guy asked to implement a linked list iirc during an interview, and he does it all in Haskell's type system. https://aphyr.com/posts/342-typing-the-technical-interview https://aphyr.com/posts/342-typing-the-technical-interview Oh it was N queens, but the line I remembered was "Summon a linked list from the void."
