A big Fintech company asked me to go to wikipedia and look up k-means squared algorithm. Implement it with tests, from scratch. No sample data etc. In about 45 minutes. I was applying for an Android position. Still sticks with me to this day how cold the interviewer was. It's a great learning experience and has made me a better interviewer

This should be an entertaining thread.
