I've never been asked such a question, provided a sub-optimal answer, and been allowed to continue. Every single time, the next question then is 'Can you make it <faster|better|etc.>?' Maybe, but by this point, I already know this is a terrible place to work.
- mankyd 12y agoI've been in this exact same situation. And I was offered positions. I guess that's my point - I didn't always find the perfect solution.

I wasn't [entirely] judged based on my final solution; I was judged on my ability to reason about the problem and demonstrate competency in my coding abilities.
