Basically these questions are made to make the interviewer look clever while not assessing any relevant skill.
I've been far more often an interviewer than and interviewee and I never ask that kind of question.
- aaron695 13y agoBut what do you ask? You can't do fuzzbuzz for an hour. I'm sure I can show you a study that shows some of your questions are wrong. It's one question, at the end of the day every question can probably in isolation be said to be wrong. While they are answering a question like this you see many things, how the handle stress, how they handle something they don't know, how they communicate the solution or ask questions. We all know this question is not meant to be solved right? That bit's not rocket science. It's about how people tackle hard/impossible stuff they don't know. If you answer a question you don't know the solution to by walking out of the room, that to me is a fail and a good test. If they try and get defensive that to me means they are not good team players and won't ever ask for help. How else does one see if they are a team play in an interview? It's easy to bag the questions but people aren't really coming up with supposed solutions.
- shin_lao 13y ago- FizzBuzz like question to eliminate a candidate that cannot code - Technical questions according to the seniority level of the candidate - I ask the candidate to solve a problem we are currently working on - During the whole process check for cultural/managerial fit
