Didn't think to mention it, but I actually did finish the Scrabble code over Sunday. It worked fine, but it took HOURS to debug (I eventually had to move it over to the Xcode debugger so that I could look at some pointers).
It was fun to actually debug a pointer again. I've not done that in some years, since most of the C code I've been working with wasn't that kind of code.
But all in all, I took WAY too long for them to rationally consider me as a candidate; however, on the next go-round, I'll already be familiar with the Xcode product (which was a significant amount of the time spent--ramping up on that).
