Well, I have to say, I don't mind a tough technical interview either, but I
don't necessarily get into stringent fact memorizing.
I had an interview at Microsoft once, that believe it or not, I wish other
interviews were like. One pair of engineers asked me a series of brief
answer technical questions, then a trio of engineers described a problem
scenario which I had to solve. They encouraged use of the white board in
the room as well as discussing options and asking yes or no questions of
them. (After pinging and tracert'ing all over the place, it turned out the
cleaning crew had just turned off the dang printer.)
The point is it is not the person who knows off the top of their head the
range of addresses available in a class c network that interests me, it is
the one who knows enough and has resources enough to find out that fact and
put it to use.
