Studying hard in university does not help. I scored 88/100 (a very high mark) in my algorithms course at university.
If you ask me if I know <X> algorithm I'll almost definitely say "No". If you ask me in an interview to implement "<Y>" I'll ask you to describe it to me. There's just too many different algorithms and its hard to remember all the names for all the algorithms. I can almost always just use google to find the algorithm on the internet and implement it from pseudo code or something.
When I can't use google it means I'm in an interview...
Sometimes I jokingly tell myself "I'm a software engineer, not a computer scientist!".
