> A mediocre programmer could memorize the examples given in Programming Interviews Exposed and do very well in a Bloomberg interview.

or in a phone interview just google for an answer to the question they're being asked! oh wait that's exactly what they did do...

How is using google to find an answer to a question okay and knowing the answers before hand not? crazy.

I've been asked a question in a phone screen the answer to which I had read on the glassdoor page for that company. A lot of people/companies recycle questions on a regular basis.

Pardon my ignorance, but what is a glassdoor page? I have not come across this term in the past.

Thanks, seems like a good resource. Never used it before, but will keep it in mind.
