I had an honor of being interviewed in Mountain View CA for a basic in-house tech support person, but didn't make it. It was in May 2006. I was one of the finalist, but just not good enough. The experience however was fantastic and a huge ego booster. They flew me over to California for few days and gave me a tour of GooglePlex. I have to say that my interview process was consistent with the article. My "google question" was: "How would you fill out exact 4 liters in a Can of 5 liters and another Can of 3 liters, with unlimited supply of water?" I was able to answer it: Pour the content of the 3L can to the 5L one. Repeat the process again until the 5L can starts overfilling. So now you have 5L can full of water and 1L left in the 3L can. So now, empty the 5L can, and pour in it that 1L leftover water from the 3L can. Now you have 1L in the 5L can. Fill 3L can with water and pour it again in the 5L can. So 1L + 3L == 4L :) Still it wasn't enough for the job as I may have failed the regular expression part of my interview...
