I've fouled up questions that were too simple - instead of just giving
a simple answer I ended up tying myself up in knots over what I was
missing.

I'm surprised people are still using the local vs my interview
question, it's trivial to parrot the perfect answer cribbed from the
camel book, and one of those thing's you tend to use without having to
think about much if you're coding a lot.
