When I'm interviewing people I'll ask a fizzbuzz level question. Not fizzbuzz itself though. I'll pick something that just has them doing some basic operations with strings and arrays like reversing the words in a string.

I'll give an easy question, but I'll have them do it ssh'd on to a remote machine. I'm more interested if they know how the environment works and how much coaching they need to navigate around.
