If "tricky/trivia C questions" are being used as a basis of anything in a job
interview, or as a way of "eliminiating" or "approving" job applicants...

...any job applicant should be rightfully offended and walk right out the
door...

If someone applies for a job at McDonalds are they tested on how to flip a
burger if they have previous experience?

In any case, for anyone who is thinking of hiring people...and thinking of
"Good C interview questions"... IMO, *DON'T* 

To me, that's akin to handing in a resume' in ALL CAPS.  Rude and trite.  I
wouldn't work someplace that handed me a "test"...
