Does this actually happen? I thought these "get out of the blender" and "why are manholes round" puzzles were the waterfall of hiring.

They were written about because they were so bad, everybody agreed they are horrible and they weren't that popular to begin with.

The last time I really looked for a job was maybe 4 or 5 years ago. I interviewed at ~5 or 6 companies and I got a variation of this 2 or 3 times. So let's say 1/3rd of the interviews.

They do happen yes, I don't know if it's common or if I'm just not very lucky :)
