OK, so you are just going to assume that any interview you can't pass is broken?

There have been interviews I have failed and instead of blaming the interviewers I took the time to actually study the problem I was given. This has helped me become a better programmer.

No, i was just presenting a counter argument. I never had to actually implement KMP outside of uni though.

Interviews that require extra knowledge outside of what the job actually asks for are definitely broken.
