I think there are two type of people who will do well in an interview like this: A) People who actually do know this stuff backwards and forwards. That one class fifteen years ago is still at their fingertips, and they are able to both talk and code fluently, shifting effortlessly from one to the other. B) People who want a job enough to put in the leg work, review these concepts, think about how they apply to real-world problems, practice writing code without an IDE, look up things they are likely to encounter talking to the specific company and so forth. While As are an awesome hire, Bs are likely to bring the same work ethic to their job (at least, as long as they are happy there). Either way, you win.
