Yes. But not everyone out there is rational. And for the size of the problems they asked, I actually wouldn't much care; if the manager was the scheming pennywise-pound-foolish sort to look at interviewers as free labor, chances are he's not going to get much use out of such code. -- I liked the query-all-the-servers problem; can I do it w/o interviewing?
