When I worked at Rackspace I recall the same sentiment as the majority of the comments here.. Testing for specific things the interviewer(s) happens to have fresh on their mind at the time. I've fallen into this trap myself and recall a particularly harsh interview we put an internal candidate through. It was almost a joke in this case and we wanted him anyway(incidentally he did surprisingly well regardless), but these were par for the course at the time. I doubt I could answer the questions I asked as well as he did if I had to today.
