Am I hired? Well, of course, when you're brain has nothing better todo then I would expect you to get it done in 5. In fact, it's probably easier to do it while you're answering phone calls than while trying to do it. But just in case my real reasoning wasn't obvious: When you're doing an interview and it's expected that you should be able to do it in 5 minutes some people's brains (i.e. mine) just shut off and it's suddenly more difficult. So if I say an hour, that sounds like a no-pressure problem and it's suddenly less difficult again. Actually, all of the applicants had a homework assignment before the interview that was more in line with what was actually expected. AJ ONeal
