I got asked the same SQRT question from FB (this was over the phone mind you). Not sure if I should give the the name of the interviewer. I bet it was the same guy. Anyway, the interviewer asked me to go to a FB site where we can collaborate and he can see what I am coding. He asked me this question and did not budge away from it. It was just ridiculous. For the life of me, I tried various different methods, even going to wikipedia but it was extremely complicated to code that up in a short period of time. We spent half the interview on this question. I decided to go work for Google, a much better company, instead.
Yes, I had that exact same experience. It was a form they use that lets them see as you type. You have to be logged into your FB account, then they look up your name. After it was over, I ended up writing back to the recruiter who setup the manager and told them about this experience and how unprofessional it was. Kudos for getting a job at a company that has a real business.
I have a macbook pro (the latest iteration) and on my Dell UltraSharp 2407WFP which I connect through D-DVI I experience graininess.... anyone else have a similar problem?
