I wonder about the merits of this sort of thing as an interview screen, though. There's not necessarily a strong correlation between knowledge of language esoterica and other more important qualities like perseverance and raw intelligence.
- blasdel 17y agoThe point is not to assess language knowledge, but disposition. Even if the candidate is unamused, they should still instantly get what the interviewer found punny about it.
- xsmasher 17y agoThe test is not whether you know the correct answer, but whether your brow furrows when you read the code. If you don't find the snippet interesting you fail. The ultimate screen would be to follow the candidate home and see if they Google or test the answer.
