I'm with the others. I could probably code something up in a couple of
hours, but it wouldn't be pretty, it wouldn't be the most efficient way
of doing things, and probably would no be without errors. But at the
end I would have something to show them.
IMHO they aren't as much interested in the results as your reaction and
progress on the package. They obviously are looking for someone with a
fair amount of experience who can delve right in. They're also looking
for someone who can work independently and doesn't need much direction.
And the key here is your question: "Where shall I start?". That in
itself is very telling. This makes it obvious that you don't have the
level of experience they are looking for. This isn't bad - everyone has
to start somewhere. It's just a matter than you and this job are
mismatched.
Don't feel bad, though. No, you didn't get the job. But make it a
learning experience. Look for a more entry-level job and get some
experience. Then you'll be ready for the jobs requiring more experience.
