> Good for you but FYI, brain teasers have been banned in most companies in Silicon Valley for a solid decade.
I think you mean "specific, but highly visible companies" instead of "most companies." Having recently gone through a round of interviews, I can tell you the brain teaser is alive and well at quite a few hiring companies in SF and SV. I think people know they don't work, but hiring is difficult and most people are lazy, especially at companies where the interviewers would rather be coding.
