As I said, they care about how you think. Do you ask all these questions?

if I were given this interview question I would immediately start asking questions: Do I have my phone? Can I bring any objects into the room? Do I know the construction of the light? How far from the room is the light switch panel?

Asking “what are the limitations and conditions of this situation” is literally the thing they want to see. That’s my entire point.

This is often exactly what the interview question is testing. Many of these questions are not about the solution but about how the applicant approaches problems
