I had an internship at a company whose core product involved ebooks. One of their questions was concerned with how to download/open/read/transfer an ebook if it was significantly larger than the available RAM or disk space on the device (i.e. cannot read it fully into memory, and can't even cache memory to disk).
Fortunately, it was just theoretical and I didn't have to implement any solutions for it. And good thing, too, because I still don't know how I would handle that!

You got me. I would certainly fail this one :(
My company doesn't really have very big datasets and I never got to learn how to deal with them.
