With respect FlightSafety, the question didn't allow the abort at V1-10. The poor candidate gets to answer on the basis of two not so great options.... continuing at V1-10 or stopping at V1+10.
Normal training would have us do the opposite. I suspect the interviewer was trying to see how well the candidate understood the implications of both.
He could have added further complication by suggesting the takeoff was a reduced thrust takeoff on a wet runway where V1 is already reduced by 10kts... so you would be going at V1-20 or stopping on a wet runway at V1+10.
Bet nobody wants me interviewing them for their next job now !
