Google Interview after my first university year for a masters internship (might not have been the best idea in the first place).

Got asked how to manipulate a collection, showed the interviewer 10 different ways how to do something, each time a bit different as he rephrased the question to get me to the result he actually wanted to see (I knew what it was but tried to be snarky, if that's the right word).

Actually fucked up the right answer at the end because I lost track in the process...

Also forgot that remove(obj) will actually iterate through the whole list each time it wants to delete an element if the element was added last..

The other interview was even worse because communication was bad.
