When faced with questions that have answers I could obviously discern by writing and running two lines of code, I willfully shrug, answer by intuition, hoping that's the trap for the wrong answer, and wait for a facial expression.
Today I was asked a question about inheritance and references within a constructor, in which the answer was an either/or for the parent or child class.
I threw up my hands and deliberately said "I dunno parent, no wait! Child!" because honestly who cares, when you can figure something like that out without even googling for it.
A question like that is like asking someone what might they expect a Hello World! program to print.
Waste my time, and I waste yours right back. I could care less what you think about me.
