One of the reasons I got to thinking about this is I read a piece on doing well in an interview and it mentioned a "Fizz/Buzz" test, which I'd never heard of, and it gave an example of one. I looked at it and thought it seemed pretty simple and I'd never even heard of a "Fibonacci sequence" (I had to play with that some more though because it's just fun).
But a solution was as easy to code as I expected so that left me a little baffled. I can see how it demonstrates one's ability to implement logic, but it left me wondering if the bar is that low to get hired or if there are that many applicants that could not solve it needing to be weeded out?
If the latter is the case, how did they get a degree?
(Or maybe the example was very simple, I really do not know because I've not been anywhere near a "tech center" and don't get to hang out much with those who work in the industry)
