Or
I was asked a brain-teaser at a FAANG company. I thought they didn’t do that any more?
A user on Twitch claimed they interviewed at a FAANG company and that they were asked a "brain teaser" question about duck-sized horses or a horse-sized duck. While I'm dubious that this actually happened, FAANG company employees are very well trained on how to conduct interviews, and if this question was indeed asked, it was likely meant as an ice-breaker, to start conversation, which some interviewer will do to help alleviate nervousness.
