Where are my IT/Networking peeps?!?

Sounds like he worded the question poorly. If he was saying the /22 was the used and could not be in that sn, then yes the next available would be 145.36.4.1 and .2. I would have given the same answer as you did with the question worded like that.
If I was doing that hire, seeing you give me the info of the sn that was given to you, that would be good enough for me,
You should have asked him if he can do IPv6 calcs.

But the fact that he uses the word 'assigned' specifically... couldn't that denote that it was indeed in use?? At this point I think it's coming down to semantics which shouldn't really be a determining factor in an interview for an IT position. I think I did enough to demonstrate I knew what I was doing. I should get my facking gold star!

Maybe he meant you already have /22 of your /16 class B already used. The more I read the original question, the more it makes me think thats what he was getting at. Very poorly worded if you ask me. Also a very dated question. You should have called him crazy for using a router and not a layer 3 switch.
