Don't sweat it, I'm sure we all had a few question we couldn't answer, it's the fact you either owned up and said you don't know or at least tried to answer it if was a "If you did XYZ, with this ABC" type question :afro:

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

Dont sweat it. I once went to an interview for a placement year.. they asked me to write some code to explain encapsulation. I just made some stuff up and still got the job  :laugh:

Strange things do happen. Like you said worst case scenario you got yourself some vital experience, and obviously made a good enough impression to get an interview!  :wink:

did you BS or did you say 'pass/don't know'

I reckon you're not one to BS in a situ like that.. so you don't sound like you did too bad

Sounds like they need this position filled immediately, so are just putting anyone who has put a CV in forward (within reason) so you may still get it, dont write yourself off yet, you obviously had skills they would like within this role.

Having spoke to chuff last night it doesn't sound like a complete fail. Infact I thought it sounds quite promising.
Fingers crossed for you :afro:
If not its interview experience and will prepare you for the next one.
I often wonder why people never expect sarcastic comments from me - they're the only reason I speak...
