I have gone through many interviews and there will always be the one or two questions that trip you up. They are there to test your ability and how you interpret the question they asked and more often than not there is no right or wrong answer unless of course it is a programming related question.
Having said that, there are also a huge amount of ways that will lead you to achieving the same solution. As you learn more you will figure out how to refine those methods.
I have been developing for quite a few years and still have to Google certain syntax, your memory will get better the more that you do it but at the end of the day we are all only human and it is impossible to remember everything about a language. So i wouldn't worry too much! I guarantee that 99% of developers still use Google or the like for syntax or figuring out how to do things. :)

But did you get the job even if you failed to answer those one or two simple questions?
I did yes and went on to do great things with that company.
Focus on what you're good at and i am sure the employer will see that too.
Great!
