Courgette meets a dangerous (Red) BendCourgette meets a dangerous (Red) BendPosted Nov 12, 2009 17:54 UTC (Thu) by tbrownaw (guest, #45457)In reply to: Courgette meets a dangerous (Red) Bend by gbutler69 Parent article: Courgette meets a dangerous (Red) Bend
Ask 100 RANDOM software developers that have a college degree and 5 years of experience for a solution to this problem. I highly doubt more than 3 or 4 would come up with this idea in a reasonable amount of time. No, it is not OBVIOUS. Would the solution to FizzBuzz be obvious under this test? Or how to expand (from=1/1/2000; to=1/3/2000) into [(when=1/1/2000), (when=1/2/2000), (when=1/3/2000)] with SQL? This second one is actually an interview question here, I'd guess the candidates we get (with degrees and mostly 5+ (some supposedly 15+) years experience) have a (probably low) single-digit percent hit rate. Does this mean that a solution should be patentable?
