I'm always amused by interview questions. Primarily because I do terribly at white board problems thanks to disgraphia(terrible handwritting), and secondily because while the questions might give some indicator of whether or not you can code hello world, or a binary tree depth first search algorithem they do a terrible job of testing your actual domain knowledge. For instance, when interviewing for a SDET position i've never been asked a single question on implementing a DI framework, designing custom asserts, designing a test object/mock object, etc. When interviewing for a web development position for high volume sites i've never been asked about cache invalidation, reduccing http requests, designing an ajax event system to reduce unnecsesary calls. Etc. I have been asked a bunch of IQ tests masquerading as mid-low level programming questions, and random trivia questions on language features.
