Hardest part for me would be not answering as a smart arse

I would give them some c# sorted class calls then intentionally leave off ';'to frick with them.

Then I would throw in an obsure regular expression followed by a call to a fictitious api that solved us customs questions

at people who think CBP officers know what the hell a Binary Search Tree is. Apparently, the second question was about abstract classes. I can totally see how a software developer that doesn't deal with OOP languages everyday could miss that question. In my previous job, our code base was done entirely in C. I can bet some of our developers couldn't answer that question correctly.
