[MattLaroche]

I feel for you. I have failed a few interviews; I choked in the interview because I didn't simulate the interview environment in practice by whiteboarding and talking through problems alone. I recommend you read Steve Yegge's post about interviewing at Google (http://mlaroche.blogspot.com/2011/10/algo-interviews-are-ove...) - especially with regards to smart people having bad days interviewing. When I realized I'd make mistakes at interviews and still actually be a good person and good hire, I stopped choking and I stopped grasping at straws on interviews.
