Technical Phone Interview: A programming problem online while on the phone with an engineer.

I had a huge, unfair disadvantage because the engineer was very uncertain about the problem I was given. About halfway through, I had completed what I thought was the problem, only for him to tell me I misunderstood it. After redoing it to meet his guidelines with the remaining time, he then informed me that, "due to a communication error, my original solution was the right way."

But after about five minutes of trying to revert the code, he said he was sorry that we're out of time and maybe next time I'd have better luck.

Utterly ridiculous. I wanted to complain to the recruiter, but I didn't because it makes it seem like I'm just bitter about "not passing" the interview and will be reapplying next winter.
