I wonder if your results arent just the effect of interview jitters. Except for the last one which is IMO so vague as to deserve a quite vague response (a request parser, a db interface layer, a templating system, and lots of hand waving).

The first seems like it should be answerable by anybody who has finished first year CS if not just some basic math skills, the second is so easy is that I triple checked my solution thinking that I must of missed some weird case. (apparently I didnt)

Hmm, are there any openings?

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
