In my opinion, it is great having people trying to "memorize" those questions. If they understand them, it would be like one half of formal computer science studies. What is a shame is people graduated from Computer Science university courses not remembering a clue about algorithms, because they "memorized" just to pass the exam. BTW, some of the interviews may be are too much hard, requiring being a Donald Knuth, having a "intelligence" index of 160, and being a nice team player (if you target very smart people you'll deal with crazy jerks most of the time -until those jerks become tamed, somehow-). Super-smart people should target working for the NASA or similar, not for writing APIs in Python 50 hours a week with just 3 week per year holidays. Anyway, algorithms matter.
