If you gave someone with no programming experience access to a search engine during the interview, they would likely be able to find the appropriate LC problem to copy/paste the solution.

If the interview were slightly modified so that the problem isnt googleable, a 2nd year CS major could probably map it to a problem that is LC searchable.

People have adapted to the subpar quality of results (on all search engines) and figured out how to find things.
