Immediately coming up with something terribly clever was admittedly my first
instinct when reading the quiz description.  After a few minutes, I realized
that I'd probably be handing the interviewer no solution at all.  I'm that
type of person; have it work exceptionally well (on all levels), or don't
bother.  Perhaps it's a test of personality more than one of performance
under pressure.
