Mmmh, no, I don't think so.

Brain teasers are typically understood as questions such as "How many ping pong balls can you put into an airplane?", and other silly, non-coding related questions.

This type of question has been banned in most tech companies for years.

Given that you are the one who used the term, I’m curious why you used it in the way I described then and not the way you just did. The article here clearly is including LeetCode style questions as “whiteboard questions” — this is explicitly stated. Maybe you hadn’t read the article? That is fairly likely, given that your comments about physical whiteboards are addressed in the article as well.

That's a Fermi problem, not a brain teaser. Brain teasers are problem with one solution that you solve by a spark of insight (or memory) with no solving process.
