How would you approach solving a task for which you have only two days and have not encountered before?

When solving an unfamiliar task with a time constraint (2 days), I would:

1. Understand the requirements. Clearly grasp what needs to be done and the success criteria.
2. Conduct quick research. Look for similar solutions, documentation, examples to understand which technologies and approaches to use.
3. Break down the task into sub-tasks. Create a plan with priorities to first develop a minimally working version.
4. Start with a prototype. Make a simple implementation that addresses the main part of the task.
5. Test and improve. Gradually add functionality and fix errors.
6. Seek help. When necessary, ask colleagues or look for answers on forums.

This approach helps to use limited time effectively and minimize risks.
