This raises an interesting point though; do you need to know C/C++
like you need to know some mental arithmetic?  Or would knowing how to
locate the correct answer (in a short amount of time obviously) rather
than providing a possibly wrong one actually demonstrate a better
quality of programmer?

That's the one gripe I have with the test (aside from technicalities)
- what is it testing, my ability as a programmer or my ability to
memorise things?  Then again, I don't know how else to pose such a
test in the chosen environment other than the way attempted, but as a
result, I'm holding little faith in the results it would generate.
