Isn't it? You're making assumptions there. See the second part of my answer.

We're both making assumptions. However, it's unlikely they are looking for code help.

I'm inclined to agree - the posting offers no hint of even knowing what code is.
It also offers no hint of knowing what interpunctuation is, but that does not break any rules for the purpose of posting here 
GOTOs are a bit like wire coat hangers: they tend to breed in the darkness, such that where there once were few, eventually there are many, and the program's architecture collapses beneath them. (Fran Poretto)

Untamed Land - In Darkness Awakened[^]
About two weeks ago, Google recommended a blog with top 10 epic black metal albums.
I do like me some epic black metal from time to time, so I checked out the list.
I already knew the first five and the final four were mostly more of the same.
Not so for #6 on the list though, Untamed Land.
Where about 90% of epic black metal bands are inspired by Tolkien and the remaining 10% by winter, Untamed Land is inspired by... Spaghetti westerns!
This is what Ennio Morricone would sound like if he made black metal.

A group of chess players checked into a hotel and stood in the lobby talking about their tournament victories. Suddenly the manager came out and asked them to disperse. “But why?” They asked. “Because I can’t stand chess nuts boasting in an open foyer.”

It must be December - it's time for the annual telling of the ancient "chess nuts boasting" joke.

Mine has to be inserts and deletions in containers implemented over arrays:
Below is some ugly code. I hate this. B-trees are FAR worse though.
bool ICollection<T>.Remove(T item)
{
if (Equals(_array[_head],item))
{
Dequeue();
return true;
}
else
{
for(var i = 0;i<_count;++i)
{
var idx = (_head + i) % _array.Length;
if(Equals(_array[idx],item))
{
if (_head + _count < _array.Length)
{
Array.Copy(_array, idx + 1, _array, idx, _count - idx - 1);
}
else if (idx == _array.Length - 1)
{
_array[idx] = _array[0];
if(_count+_head!=_array.Length)
{
Array.Copy(_array, 1, _array, 0, (_count + _head) % _array.Length - 1);
}
}
else if (idx < _head)
{
Array.Copy(_array, idx + 1, _array, idx, (_count + _head) % _array.Length - 1);
}
--_count;
unchecked
{
++_version;
}
return true;
}
}
}
return false;
}

I can feel the lack of love in ya code... 
you can do nicer, I believe in ya!
Also there is a bug!
If T is a reference type, you would leave the reference at the head index being duplicated (and NOT garbage collected)... you should set newly empty spot to default(T)
as in, if you remove B
your underlying array will go from
A | B | C
to
A | C | C
The last C will prevent garbage collection of C 
|
|
|
|
|
yeah that's true. I wasn't considering the collection of ref types there. Now I can see why microsoft cleared their arrays. I didn't put 2 and 2 together and think about garbage collection. meh. thanks.

Here you go corrected version.. though I feel I might be wrong a little bit by +/- 1 on some indexes, you gotta proof read it! 
EDIT (oops got the count wrong on my removes... buut I still hope the general outline ispire you for its simplicity! )
v1
bool ICollection<T>.Remove(T item)
{
for(var i = 0; i < _count; ++i)
{
var idx = (_head + i) % _array.Length;
if(!Equals(_array[idx],item))
continue;
if (_head + _count < _array.Length)
{
Array.Copy(_array, idx + 1, _array, idx, _count - idx - 1);
}
else if (idx < _head)
{
Array.Copy(_array, idx + 1, _array, idx, ((_head + _count) % _array.Length - idx - 1));
}
else
{
Array.Copy(_array, idx + 1, _array, idx, _array.Length - idx - 1);
_array[_array.Length - 1] = _array[0];
Array.Copy(_array, 1, _array, 0, _head - 1);
}
_array[_head + _count - 1] = default(T);
--_count;
unchecked { ++_version; }
return true;
}
return false;
}
v2
bool ICollection<T>.Remove(T item)
{
var i = FindIndex(item);
if (i == -1)
return false;
var idx = (_head + i) % _array.Length;
if (_head + _count < _array.Length)
{
Array.Copy(_array, idx + 1, _array, idx, _count - idx - 1);
}
else if (idx < _head)
{
Array.Copy(_array, idx + 1, _array, idx, (_head - idx - 1));
}
else
{
Array.Copy(_array, idx + 1, _array, idx, _array.Length - idx - 1);
_array[_array.Length - 1] = _array[0];
Array.Copy(_array, 1, _array, 0, _head - 1);
}
_array[_head + _count - 1] = default(T);
--_count;
unchecked { ++_version; }

}

I didn't factor it that much just because I whipped it up so fast. It's on my TODOs, which is why it's sitting in my prelim folder.
Before I extensively factored it, I wanted to dogfood it, so I used it in my backtracking parsers.
Now that it works, and I've tested it in a real world situation, I'm ready to go back and clean it up, I just haven't gotten to it yet.

I nominate the old (x + m) % m to avoid the old "if x is negative then % works in a weird way".
It's not big, but happens a lot, and often after a debugging session and cursing. Bad vibes.

To me modulo is a so second nature that I don't find it confusing it all.
When I see it, I automatically think - this is probably a bounding value for the target it is modifying.
For example:
return _array[i % _array.Length];
That tells me that i's value is wrapped to the array's length.
It's instinct to me. What's less clear is when people use if to accomplish the same thing, IMO.

Modulo is fine, I meant the annoying pattern to deal with negative dividends. -1 % _array.Length = -1 and that's usually not what you want from a modulo.
