They might well be your future co-workers, so ought to be approachable (if not, do you want to work with them?), plus I am genuinely interested in interview techniques & would be willing to lose a job, just to learn something like that, because if asking loses me the job I wouldn't want to work with such people anyway. | |

If you haven't used a certain function in a while, you might have to write a little experimental program to remind yourself how it behaves, and so on. Perhaps those considerations were the idea of the time limit extension. | |

| Oct 25, 2018 at 17:02 | comment | added | Bernhard Barker | Different interviewers might be assessing different things, so I don't think there's really a right answer here. Some might be assessing your ability to make decisions more than they care about which option you pick, and others might not be assessing anything at all and just think it only makes sense to have less time if you can use the internet. | |
