Well, it's been and gone and they don't want me...
I tripped up on what system call gets passed a path and returns an inode and on the big-O of quick sort. The other questions went fairly well though...

Well, a few minutes spent with a famous search engine that begins with G - you might want to try it sometime - coughed up information about a company called Pecks. http://www.hiddenglasgow.com/forums/vie ... =15&t=7355I'll let you work out the rest of the stuff about fish paste, World War 2, how it ended up in Australia and now seems to be a South African export. I don't see why I should do all the work for you. (Hint: try typing "Pecks" and "Anchovette" into the search engine thing.)  _________________My Flickr | Snaptophobic BloggageHeather Kay: modelling details that matter.

I was barely taught quick sort/algorithms in general at uni aside from A* so it caught me out. Google are REALLY big on big-O Was this a UK position? One I had was in Seattle but not the end of the world  If you are interested in places to look let me know, asked on another forum and got a LOT of good advice on places In other news....... looks like I am graduating with a 2:1 in the worst case scenario, 63% provisional before possibly switching modules and my PEC is considered, so there is still a fair chance I could get a first And I got a job interview next week and hopefully some more to come _________________TwitterCharlie Brooker: Macs are glorified Fisher-Price activity centres for adults; computers for scaredy cats too nervous to learn how proper computers work; computers for people who earnestly believe in feng shui.

But that's a bottle. Shaped a bit like a grenade by being fat in the middle _________________Plain English advice on everything money, purchase and service related:
