I did not have at all this experience interviewing @ Facebook for a mobile position. Questions were reasonable and the interviewer gave nudges / prompts when it was obvious you were stuck on something. They really seem to take recruiting very seriously and it showed.

  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hat_Puzzle http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hat_Puzzle Sadly not AI detecting hats and then finding colours based on lighting of faces and rest of scene.

Was this your experience? I just went through an SDE loop last week (still waiting to hear the results), but I got no "aha" questions. 2 strictly coding questions and 1 open-ended design question (with pseudo-code). It was very straight forward.
