In a non-programming interview, I was asked a two part question:
1) What was the class that you found most challenging during school?
2) Now, explain a concept or idea that you took away from the course.
I found it to be a challenging and revealing question. Forcing me to honestly confront my weaknesses, but also giving me an opportunity to show (don't tell) how I still tried hard and took something away from material that I found difficult.
