I've been in interviews where the interviewer had me play the guess-what-answer-I'm-thinking-of game, and that may be what j_baker is afraid of. I don't want to do that either when I say "get a look at how you think"; I want to see that you can attack a problem, not necessarily that you'll try the same things I would.

Absolutely. I rather have an interviewer questions me why I think my solution is a solution (even if it is a terrible n^3 solution).
