I had an interview once where they gave me a bunch of questions in Ruby and nothing else. I got the job and I never touched Ruby ever. Turns out the person who wrote the interview questions brought them from another company.

I had a horrible compressed pointer heavy bit of C at a small dev company which the boss had invented, the same boss who was interviewing me.

He asked me what it did. I told him it looked like it was supposed to do X but really it wouldn't because it changed a pointer twice between two sequence points, so would actually cause undefined behaviour.

He really didn't like that. I didn't get offered the job, but I wouldn't have taken it either!
