I think you'd pass
Because mostly we are looking for a total absence of knowledge on one or more items.
While I mentioned C strings - its really about basic knowledge of in place array manipulations - like can you reverse a string in place in some language like C (you can use any language you like but saying you're using Smalltalk and telling me you just send "reversed" to it will feel unsatisfying and you'll get another coding question).
I expect you could list a few classes you might need if modeling a video rental store and provide a sane explanation of polymorphism.
I also guess you could figure out how many bits you need to represent numbers that could go up to 6 million and then select an appropriate data type.

This guy's ahead of his time! He's using quantum programming methods: in universes where invalid data is passed to this function, it does not return. Thus you are ensured that you will only have valid data after calling it. Optimally you'd destroy the universe on failure, but computers haven't quite advanced to that level yet.

I might pass at that...
And depending on what happens with my wife's pathology interviews, I may have an interest in doing so in about half a year...

That's up to her
She's been before, but wasn't too interested in returning. Something about not knowing anyone, and not having common interests.

If you do decide to come here
lemme know as I get a nice referral bonus and kickbacks are possible.

Imagine what PARC might have done
if they'd been entirely focused on maximizing purchase rates.
