Hmm I feel like the best way to "game" these interviews is just to learn solutions to the top 100 leetcode questions and then act as if you're figuring it out on the spot. That's what I started doing in preparation for a Facebook interview but I think that's not actually going to happen in the end anyway due to the hiring freeze and also the ridiculous H1B situation.

Recently gave an interview where they asked me to open my Leetcode profile, and checked if there are any prior submissions to the asked questions. ¯\(ツ)/¯
I sincerely hope you walked out of that interview without accommodating that request. Would hope you mind naming the company only so others can avoid it?
Treating a candidate as suspects seems to be a new low, even for the tech industry.
An interview is a two way street. That person probably did you a favor though by letting you know what your potential coworkers and/or company culture was about.
Interesting! I suppose one could prepare for that by having a second profile with just a few questions solved?
Solve all the questions you don't want them to ask!
Seems like a flawed system. I would just use a fake profile or say I only used CTCI as prep.
