When you are an interviewer, remember you are given power to determine whether people get the job and are their gatekeeper. You are determining career paths and opportunity. Don't make the interviewee do things they wouldn't do on the job but find out who they are. Even when you hire you really learn who you hired in action, even if you have a circus hoop based interview process, the real test is the first 2-12 weeks. It is sad some pedantic people can determine your success on a one off trick question and whiteboard exercise interview judgement like a rogue war tribunal rather than your work.
