I have literally fixed a coffee grinder at one of the startups I worked at.

I think I would fail this test since most coffee machines are hard to repair unless it is something trivial and the idea of just repairing something is kind of odd. A better answer might be you work with the office manager, go to the store and grab a temporary one.

I also think this is a terrible idea for other reasons:

1. You are working at a small company and its easy to communicate, its broken and you are going to fix it. However, focus is critical even if it doesn't feel like it all the time.

2. It is hard to tell but it seems like saying you would talk to the office manager would cause you to fail but this seems like the most rational answer. You should work with them and see if you can fix it together or at least keep them in the loop.

Bias for action is great but you also need people who can focus, know what they are good at, and communicate with others.
