Let's not pretend that real-world developers don't spend 75% of their time Googling how to do X on the job.

Especially if you frequently move from project-to-project and language/framework-to-language/framework, you now how to solve the problem but you probably need a refresher on the specifics of how to implement it in the language or framework you're being asked to use. Let's face it: if you didn't know how to solve the problem, any useful Google searche-results would be nearly blind-luck.
