yeah same. it's not a recitation / memorization challenge, it's an honest "if you ran into X at work, show me what would you do" exercise. It's hard to imagine an answer that doesn't start with "I'd probably google it." How do you evaluate the quality of the search results? How would you scan a page to quickly find the salient details? How would you test what you'd found to determine whether it was an effective solution? etc.
