wow im 15 and only looked at youtube tutorials and i could do this
Ok, now sit down in an interview, in an office, without a computer, and write it on a sheet of paper... You have 10 mins.
Missing the point much?
Ten minutes is enough time to write it several times. He's not missing the point.
Bolded for emphasis, any idiot could do it sitting in front of a computer with handy access to the internet... I guarantee you that nowhere near 99.5% of people would fail this test if they were online doing it.
Never mind the added stress and pressure of an interview (an already oppressive atmosphere) and the fact that simple syntax errors are stupidly common (I made one just earlier today that took about 15 mins to find).
And yes if you know what you're doing you could write it a few times in 10 mins,
BUT if you're a 15 year old kid who doesn't know his arse from his elbow in the programming world saying that if he had the internet handy he could do it then yes, he is missing the point.
