This will happen any time a dev tries to arrange settings in logical way (instead of flat list of toggle and input boxes), because “logically belong together” and “actually often used together or one after another” are not the same, and also dev logic, internal system logic and user logic are also three different things.

    case 1: I know beforehand that this is going to be an interview to look at how good I am at reasoning. No problem, give me the question about bus to fill with balls

    case 2: this is going to be a more informal interview, question goes in the same list as “your name, what were you doing at your previous job, did you work with X… by the way, what about switches and bulbs” - nope. That means interviewer did a lousy job at preparing for interview, so who is wasting whose time - up to me to decide on the spot
