Tell me about a time you got stuck on a task and couldn't solve it on your own. What did you do?

How to approach it

This checks whether a junior can first make an honest attempt on their own, notice in time that they're stuck, and ask for help the right way, with context instead of "it doesn't work". It also matters whether they take away a lesson and share it.
