"if you don’t make it clear what you are looking for, you aren’t really testing their technical competence, you’re testing their ability to guess the answer you’re looking for"

Google stopped doing this for a reason. Give people real problems to solve, then dive deep on their answer. Unless you're interviewing for an algorist, this is a waste of everyone's time.

Re:H. G. Wells’ interview with Stalin (1934) on Sunday April 20, 2014 @09:24AM (#7616706)
great comment by nmrm

Stalin, in particular, has been a fascination of mine. Anyone interested in learning how a man can literally seize control of the thoughts of millions of people - utterly - in an age when the radio was considered cutting-edge technology should read "Who Killed Kirov?" (http://amzn.to/1moOVmE) That book haunts me.
