I've been at Google for five years as a SWE and I've been interviewing for 3 of those. I'd fail this pop quiz.

This strikes me as bizarre and inconsistent with all the practices I'm aware of. The idea that we'd ask anyone this stuff, let alone director candidates, strains belief.

This strikes me as an interview with a recruiter. This is almost definitely not a legitimate Google interview.

Maybe it was for a vendor/contractor position.

Google recruiters ask these exact questions in phone screens.
