Who's answer is wrong? Cause no-one suggested a 16bit lookup table.

His answer was to look at 64 bits at a time and do a [0] Kernighan style count. The "correct" answer was an 8-bit lookup table. Which is right is going to be highly dependent on the data and the architecture you are using.

You're correct, I misread what he said the recruiter's answer was.
