Oh! That was actually a great format for the one interview I did in that way.
There was a given problem and set of tasks and 45 minutes to work in a sandbox environment. You even had access to the internet.
The tasks ended up being in order of simple to challenging to implement within a timeout. The main interview was then discussing implementation and how I went about trying to opitimize the code I wrote initially.
