Thanks for the link, but I don't see a problem with that question. If you find it difficult, I wouldn't want you anywhere near the code base of my (hypothetical) company. So I guess the question would be doing its job just fine, for both of us.

I didn't say it was difficult, but man you sound it with that additude/arrogance.

Isn't the answer "sure, seems trivial, let me do that in ten minutes for you"?
