Asking about BFS is cool for new grads. My first interview, I got among other things a cute IQ test which was pretty fun since I do enjoy puzzle games. Apparently other candidates voiced the absurdity of the test, which I guess proves a point of their character? It's a fun test why be so serious right?

For professionals in the industry who probably worked on massive code bases or contributed to billion dollar companies? I don't know, I'd feel like the interviewer didn't do their homework when they called them in for an interview lol

I mean I guess if they aren't really the right fit, they can go right on to the competitors or something.
