I cannot believe it. I absolutely can not believe this statement is true, or at least is still true in today's generation. I believe that most people are just really nervous at interviews and can't think through a program properly under the pressure of the interviewer, and that's why such a simple problem can take a while or they might get brainjammed, but I don't believe anyone who has a computer science degree cannot figure something like that out.
Again, I think its probably just people getting nervous in interviews and not that people can't figure it out. Of course this is a 3 years ago thing!

Probably holds a little more truth, and I'm a little more scared about that. Aside from my lab I don't spend a lot of my free time coding, so this could actually be more serious. :V Not to say I can't program, I certainly believe at this state I'm programming fine, but, hmm... if you want dire passion in my work, I guess I'd need to work on something like that.

The first link is kinda scary.
For the second link, seeing their actual work definitely makes sense.
