Coding interviews are not about coding skills, they are about communication skills.

I thought I had discovered a clever hack when I was interviewing. You ask enough closed questions about the problem that the interviewer tells you the answer. Then you repeat the answer back to them, as code or aloud, and you pass.

Now that I am interviewing, I am desperate to find anybody who will ask me enough questions to have me reveal the answer, and then repeat it back to me.
