Why do you need to ask them technical questions when you can ask for their college results?

What about non-CS degree folks? What about people who graduated 20 years ago?

Do they have a degree in accounting or agricultural engineering? Surely they did some math. And if they didn't, it's fair to assume they don't have algorithms experience.
