I can often type the answer to a tee-ball question in under two minutes; I really don't understand people who are angry about being asked to demonstrate the skills they are selling. We spend more time in interviews introducing ourselves.

Look at it from the point of view of somebody who's been able to somehow acquire a master's degree in computer science without knowing how to write a simple Boolean expression that correctly implements a well-defined predicate. When you bomb a tee-ball question that exposes you, how are you likely to react? (a) Wow, I don't know how to program, or (b) THIS PROCESS IS UNFAIR.

What's an example of a tee-ball question?

Given 3 numbers (a, b, c), determine whether c is in the range that spans from a to b.
