Not exactly. Google has never advocated these kinds of questions, but they also allowed engineers to ask whatever they wanted (within certain parameters). I know of one guy who did get a "cannibals and nuns crossing a river" question, and others who got some complicated thing about how much to bet on the outcome of drawing black or white stones from a sack. But the majority of a Google interview has always been (to my knowledge) more practical.
