What are your general comments?

This was not the relaxed interview people talked about. I was definately grilled throughout. The interviewer was a very clever man, and he definately tried to push me to my limits by asking a series of trick questions. He even used answers I'd given prior to evaluate the quality/nature/truthfullness of the answers I'd given him on later questions.
