Hi,
It is just a way of saying, you won't actually doing a team-work :) The roles will remain distinguished, but you can do a few things to make the interviewer feel part of your reasoning (that's what they intend as "team-work"):
- Speak out loud when you are reasoning so that the interviewer understands your structure and can help in case he feels you are missing something important
- Write down your calculations and structures, so that the interviewer feels part of the reasoning process
- Tell him/her if you are stuck/need time to think
- Back-up all the hypothesis and numbers and explain all the calculations you are doing (e.g., answering: "it's 52" is bad, "I'm multiplying the number of apples per box that is 26 and the number of boxes that is 2, so that the total number of apples result 52" is right)
