> It's weird to put a filter a question into a full day's worth of interviewing.
Some candidates won't get the full day, to prevent wasting a lot of time.
It's true that I haven't seen an individual interview being cut ultra-short after a failed filter question, but it definitely informs whether the next interviews will happen.

Sorry, but, thanks for coming, and good luck in your future endeavors. As an experienced candidate, if I could not stomach that, politely and with a strong desire to move on swiftly on the other side as well, I am asked a simple technical question for the apparent reason that the interviewer cannot divine if I am actually able to program (unlike so many examples in this comment section alone), I'm not sure why I would really be considered a "grade-A" candidate.
