Why I Left Google

That's the sort of thing that would make me strongly consider ending the interview, at least if I was going to be working directly for the interviewer. No need to waste more of their or my time than necessary, and I really wouldn't like working in that kind of insulting environment. And from a probably-immature perspective, the feel of power from being the guy saying "sorry, I'm not interested anymore" instead of hoping they call you back is nice.

Or, if I was really annoyed: bust out some Common Lisp for the next problem, then leave.

Seriously, he said the next question was string manipulation or something:

    #include <stdio.h>
    char f[8] = {70, 117, 99, 107, 32, 121, 111, 117};
    int main(){
      int u; for(u=0; u<8; u++) { printf("%c", f[u]); }
      printf(".\n");
    }

Thank them for their time and walk out.
