Personally, this is the only thing so far that makes sense to me in the middle of all this mess. But who knows…

This might be just the perfect companion to "Pratical Common Lisp" by Peter Seibel. I always thought PCL is an excellent book for someone who already knows some Lisp. With these two books, I believe you really achieve a powerfull combo to start learning and using Lisp!
And the music is very cool too :-)
It took me around 20 minutes to write all the extra code and 9 to write the reverse function (including the testing and all).
The problem was not knowing how to solve it but more the pressure of looking at the clock and seeing the time flying away. Because of that, some minor mistakes were done and naturally you start to get nervous and waste more time. In a phone interview I would probably even do more minor mistakes and fail it.
You don't know the "fight" that is to use Lisp in this field/community. The few times I use Lisp is for solo work, because every time I do collaborative work people simply refuse to even considered it. The myths against Lisp are pretty strong and people just refuse to change their minds. Which I think it's kind of ironic since in a science/research environment, people should be more open-minded. Oh well...

This is very, very annoying...
