Of course there was pressure, but why not just say that you know an algorithm that can do this faster, but you can't remember the name of it, and then just provide the intuition behind it?
- hellisothers 7y agoIn my experience on both sides none of that matters, also none of the “how do they look stuff up” matters, what matters is did you just know what to do and do the right dance.

- bryanrasmussen 7y agobecause then I had to go through explaining the thing the algorithm did and I didn't necessarily want to do that, I just wanted to remember the name so I could say there is an algorithm named X for this case. At any rate that was why I said the last uhm, because I saw no other way and I was thus ready to go the long route, but then I guess I was out of time.
