I can sympathize with the algorithm pop quiz tests. I've done a few of them in various interviews over the last year, and I have to say that in every case they bear precisely zero relevance to any software engineering that I've done in the last 15 years. In one recent case I've even had an interviewer standing and pointing over my shoulder at pieces of paper. It was pretty farcical, and somewhat intimidating. In the real world, this isn't what writing software is about.

That's when I would have gotten out of the room and said "thank you, I don't think we'd be a good match" :)
