They didn't make a simple "if you can't use developer tools X way then I'm not hiring you" statement.

>So far, two ways to pass:

Would mean that they understand there are a hundred different paths to solve a simple problem. What is being looked for is familiarity with the tools you are expected to know. And littering a shit ton (not just a simple "Started-HH:MM:SS.mmm" or "Stopped-HH:MM:SS.mmm" with timestamps) of console.log statements when you first start debugging is a pretty fair red flag.

I do. I say, I would use the debugger to find the problem, but how would you approach it?
