Read on Hacker News… As stated in some of the comments already posted, asking this kind of questions in interviews is by now "deprecated" (or even "considered harmful"), because they are in the public domain.

Read on Hacker NewsGoogle is like Microsoft 20 years ago. Everybody should read "How Would You Move Mount Fuji" -- a detailed book on the topic of IQ, puzzles, and job interviews. http://www.amazon.com/How-Would-Move-Mount-Fuji/dp/031677849... Microsoft has, of late, moved away from these sorts of questions because they don't really translate into job performance, from what I understand. ;)
