You might be surprised. I'm always astonished at how many people I interview don't have a clue how to solve interview questions I Googled up or remembered from my own interview process, even the older-than-dirt ones like "how do you detect a cycle in a singly linked list?"
Besides, effective use of Google and literature is also a useful engineering skill. So is willingness to front-load work in preparation for an expected challenge.
'How do you detect a cycle in a singly linked list?" I found that funny because when I interviewed for my current job, I was asked that question, and I had seen the answer while googling interview questions the night before!
