> Cheating? Even with phone screens, some candidates still cheat at these interviews (have some engineer with them answering questions, or looking up similar questions online).
The only difference between these people and those who pass normally is that the latter group looked up the answers to the problem before you even asked them. Nobody comes up with things like mods of dfs or n-pointer problems on the spot. These problems were the subjects of doctoral dissertations the first times they were solved. We pass them because we've seen problems just like it. The system has been gamed and doesn't work.
