I've been doing lots of interviews lately. Most of the coding questions have been fun, and I've learned. Some have been just plain strange - they seem like well intended questions in a specific context (which I'm not aware of). Those are the hardest. I've noticed the strange ones seem to be coming from people that aren't prepared to be interviewing. So just a word of advice (and I'll elaborate with a blog post soon) to interviewers, please prepare ahead of time. I'm interviewing you too. Asking the most abstract or complicated question possible probably won't help you find the people you're looking for.
