I think even with follow up questions there's only so much you can ask. It was entirely possible to design a response such that your solution takes a good 20 minutes and doesn't leave much time for discussion. I ended up going over time on a recursion problem but still got in.

I actually liked the problems but it seems like there weren't enough different kinds of questions to filter out people with the answers beforehand.
