Build the cart without AI. Then tell me where you hesitated.
Answer it out loud before you open anything. The value of the flags below is in comparing them to what you actually said — including whether you asked who uses it before naming what you would build it with.
The situation behind the question
A learner has completed the store's cart — add, remove, change quantity, total — with an assistant writing most of it. The interviewer asks: "Rebuild it from memory, no tools, and mark every place you hesitate. Then tell me what the hesitations mean."
What it is really testing
Whether the candidate understands what the no-AI first attempt is for — finding the edges of your own understanding — and can use hesitation as data rather than as failure. Also whether they know the hint ladder and would climb it one rung at a time.
