I'm not sure how this is any better than any other annoying cs question asked by 90% of companies nowadays. My best interviewing experience was with a fairly large startup for an iOS programming position. Instead of a phone screening interview, they sent me a small iOS app description and asked me to code it and send it in. The in-person interviews was me and the interviewer, at a computer, coding sample iOS applications and looking through code. This is directly related to the job and through asking questions about the code and how to accomplish different things, the employer knows all they need to about the candidate's abilities. I've been asked to write the Fibonacci algorithm so many times that I can literally code every version of it with my eyes closed. Does that mean I'm a good programmer? I'm pretty sure anyone can memorize a dozen lines of text.
