I won't give away the details, but the warm-up question should have taken a about 14 seconds for someone with the claimed skill set. They should have been able to speak the code at us rather than use a whiteboard. Think of something like "write a program to sum the values in a 10 element integer array". It was supposed to be a fluff filter so we could get on to higher level architecture/design questions. I felt embarrassed to even give it. On resume alone, this guy was a definite hire. The interview was something else entirely.

I know great coders that have failed fizzbuzz. I've seen it happen in an interview where I was an interviewer, they were my friend, and I did everything in my power to make the process low pressure.

Some people just can't deal with the pressure of interviewing.
