BFS is a 4 line algorithm that doesn't need to be memorized. I wouldn't trust a developer who can't even reason this out with understanding runtime order complexity.

  bool bfs(int x) {
    q = new LinkedList<Node>;
    q.push(root)
    while (q.size != 0 && q.peak() != x);
    return q.size ? true : false;
  }

I just said "<insert your favourite algorithm here>". BFS is just an example.

Oh, well...
