Very good advice!
I recall an interview I did for the IBM Haifa R&D lab, where I was asked a
question, which I didn't immediately know the answer to, but instead of saying
"let me think about it" I "brainstormed" a little with the interviewers until
I reached the right answer. Maybe they sensed it, and I didn't get the job
even though I did well on the other tests. (Though who knows - back then there
was still a lot of recession and they had many candidates.).
I'll reply directly to what Akhthar said with more advice from my experience.
