Boom. I do ask at least one code it on a white board question usually, and what I don't do is sit back twiddling my fingers and think to myself, he/she gets this or else. I actually don't mind at all when a candidate doesn't know it and asks me for help - provided they've made some good faith effort. That's why we have so many other questions and conversations. By the time I get to the whiteboard stuff, I'm looking for someone to want to engage with me, not an attempt to stump them.
