I once received the question: let's architect a web browser. This was for an interview for backend engineering at uber, so by no means did I have any particular knowledge or speciality in browser design. Because I knew the product very well from a user's standpoint, and common knowledge about web standards, it was really fun and exciting to figure the architecture out. Typically the questions revolve more around: "How would you design twitter/pinterest/facebook newsfeed?"
