It's a Heruclean effort but would be great. Imagine the possibilities of having all of Java available in your editor!

Very nice but expecting the candidate to know that much about Pascals triangle upfront seems a bit too much ;)

Yes, it seems a number of optimizations are possible. At least it is not necessary to calculate n!. Depending on the job discussing these strategies and whether they are worthwhile for some real world problem can be quite interesting.

The process can be a very bad thing if it does not terminate at some point. Don't forget to use your skills to actually build stuff!

As I see it: If your boss is an enormous idiot you have a problem anyways. I can't imagine someone, a manager no less, to act that stupid. How did he manage to keep his job?

I think the the start up culture is less prevalent here in the Netherlands than in SV but it certainly exists. From my personal experience I can say these guidelines are not strictly adhered. The young, university educated people I hang out

The problem with this strategy is that your potential hires are more experienced in whatever language you choose so gauging their skill solely on this particular aspect is hard. If you really want to learn a new language I would go for one
