Random systems questions. It did not seem like they were interested as much overall understanding or process here as they were with playing Jeopardy systems addition. For example, a hypothetical problem was described but any remedy that was not precisely worded was not acceptable. During another question I was asked to basically rattle off as many tools as I could think of that could be used in diagnostics of a hypothetical problem.
