In our department we have made a concerted effort to eliminate "ah-ha" type questions. We focus instead on questions that start with a straightforward problem and lead to a series of deeper design-oriented questions. We also, sadly, have found that a large portion of our interviewing time is devoted to "fraud detection" as many candidates simply cannot do the things that their resumes indicate they should be able to do.
