e.g:
I challenge you to give an answer to my question?
it's such a simple question, how could anyone not give the right answer. but it's as badly communicated as your comment, subject to interpretation and perplexing.
now imaging being in a position of inferiority, in total fear to be asked about things you've never hear about before. like it happens not so rarely when sitting University in exams. you studied 90% of the curriculum for a year, but, bad luck, the exam concentrates on that 10% you've overlooked.
you haven't prepared for a year for that interview, but it does feel like it while waiting in that soulless waiting room. The secretary bored to death nearby doesn't help gain any courage: she mastered the art of pretence, she isn't building some complex excel queries, she plays the solitaire. but you don't know that. and you haven't even entered the interview room yet.
if you don't picture that scenario, just try to give a speech on a very large audience. you will see how emotions can very well take full control over you.
that part was because the parent comment was barely understandable.
this interview question is crystal clear and anyone applying for a software dev position should be able to provide a valid answer.
it doesn't remove the fear factor problem. but agreed.
that's also why we got screening calls, in 10 mins even a tech recruiter can filter out wanna be engineers who can't answer super basic tech questions.
