OFO has people with various technical training in the event that some kind of search of electronics need be performed, but a written test? I've never heard of any such thing. And the reported conversation sounds like BS too.

What's next to be claimed.........a fill-in-the-blank, 20 question, 14 CFR 91 quiz that you are given 10 minutes to complete, for aircrews going through Customs at an Airport of Entry?

Maybe I need to start generating those up........ :tinfoil:

Occam, seems like an insensitive generalized made up name. But I suppose the simplest answer is that Nigerian men have difficulty growing a beard. So maybe they were suspicious because of a more simple reason.

I've been a software developer/engineer for 15+ years and I know for a fact I couldn't "write a function to check if a Binary Search Tree is balanced" without being able to Google it.

Not directly related to a "whiteboard" test by BP but sorta related.

I saw that this week and agree wholeheartedly. I have been asked to do things like this in job interviews and if it is something too language specific or some trivia minutiae I reply with something to the effect of, "I respect you are trying to use these questions to find the right candidate for you, but if being able to write a binary tree sort algorithm from memory, on paper, that will compile, is the factor that will make me a successful candidate, I'm not interested in working here."

He's not a very bright engineer if he can't figure out that it takes a lot less time than 24 hours to fly from Lagos to the US. Even going through Europe.

But I bet you he has a bunch of money in an impound account he'll split with you if you just tell him what account to deposit it to.
