This has become my least favorite question to answer, partly because the rabbit hole is too deep for a limited amount of time, and mostly because it has so little to do with the job I'm interviewing for. It also feels so tedious, having answered it so many times before. The hardest part about answering this question is not sounding or looking like I just want it to be over, already.

> Really a great question for exposing how the candidate models a complex system.

The question could do that, if the interviewer is sufficiently interactive and asks the candidate to explore or explain, but I have yet to experience it. Every single time I've answered the question, the interviewer just sits and listens.

Am I really exposing how I model anything when I'm giving what's now a pretty rote answer, colored by years of reading postings about it?
