I would agree with scholar on this one. If asked "which algorithm" a
candidate would prolly be thinking in terms of the different algorithms.
But if he/she is asked how are you going to sort? he/she will prolly
answer system sort etc depending on what he thinks he/she is going to
use.

(Well, I do usually say, ``how would you sort n integers...'')

Re resp:8: Ah, but when you're hiring for a job like that, do you want
someone who's going to slavishly follow what they think you asked them
to do? Or do you want someone who will come back and say, "maybe it'd
be better if we did it this way"?

Right, and as I said in that response, there's a huge difference between what
most people will do after they're on the job than what they do in an
interview.
Don't respond to me if you're not going to read what I write.

I would never interview someone with math problems.
