I think having a laptop to take notes on is fine. It shouldn't really be any
different than writing on paper (Except for that annoying keyboard sound).
I agree, the test seemed hard. But then again I'm not a programmer. I also
agree that the simple C test is a good test to see their coding style and
proficiency. There is a whiteboard in the room that you can have them code
on.
Actually I was thinking I would be there for the interviews. It shouldn't be
a problem if I'm in the room. Who knows I might even ask an intelligent
question occasionally.

Wow. Those were tough. I kind of got four right..
They are good questions, to be sure. If we use them (not a bad idea at
all), I suggest we pick a handful (<5, imho) and adjust them slightly
(so if they happened to read this web page they won't be a shoe-in).
> 1. How do you work best? group/individual
This sort of needs to be clarified a bit, I think, otherwise the answers
are going to be meaningless. I liked Kevin's idea about peak time of
day, and maybe the ideal size of a group although as Perry said¸ they
already know the right answer. Maybe something about work behaviour?
> 7. C++,C Questions
That article doesn't touch on C knowledge. How about this question for
C: write a function that reverses a C-style string. It's a nice
question because 1) it's not too tough, 2) we can tell much from their
output. (and we can evaluate them to a large extent while they're doing
it)
Perhaps we'd like to ask them if they'd rather be tested on C or C++
knowledge?
> 9. Evaluate Immediately
Do you guys think it's a silly idea to bring in a laptop and record
their answers?
Also, Perry - are you going to be greeting them? It seems like it might
be nice for them to not have to meet three strangers..? Also, you might
be interesting in our evaluation?
