Are those types of things not to see how you react more than what you remember?
I'd ask people strange shit during interviews, shit no reasonable person expects another person to know. Just to see how they would react. I didnt give a fuck about the answer being correct.
But I am not in the tech industry so /shrug.

Adebisi just reading this thread. Get back to me asap: I work in research but also do a lot of technical assistance for training and knowledge translation, so your old job sounds very similar to some of what I do. I can help you put material together and see you through this trying time. blowjobs may or may not be required

No this is a new trend in IT job hiring where there are a bunch of sites where you log in and they have problems you need to fix in a certain amount of time. Or code needs to be written to accomplish a certain task within in a time limit.
I think some places have custom problems made that would match their own IT environment.

It's stupid
Ask me stuff relative to the job, not binary sort a tree
Had a guy get all cranky because he had a problem he wanted me to solve and I misplaced a pointer. I dunno man, maybe it's because you made me write a function by hand on a white board at 8am

Guess I went from lab to manager pretty direct (thanks Ebola). But even when I got my first lab position the PI just shot the shit with me.

See, the last part is what I found interesting when I interviewed. I wouldn't care how they approached it, I want to understand the logic why they approached it that way.
