Interviewees are encouraged to use Google, code on a laptop rather than on a whiteboard, etc. Sadly, I only get an hour to interview people rather than a week. But I have had people complain about "completely unrealistic problems unrelated to the real work" when the problem is something I literally had to solve 3 months ago.

To be fair, you could just give them the question ahead of time. Email them 3 days before their interview with the question and say see you soon. That is much closer to actual conditions

That sounds far more reasonable.
