It's true this is probably not exactly what happened, but Google does certainly ask these questions in phone screens and the interviewers read the correct response off of a cheatsheet.

The fact that several Google people posting here literally can't believe this is true shows how fucked up their process is.

The fact that several Google people posting here literally can't believe this is true also may mean it isn't true. Not that the questions weren't asked by a recruiter with a cheat sheet, but the quality of response and the attitude of the recruiter has been grossly exaggerated.
