I've been an engineer for more than thirty years. In one interview I was given 45 minutes to write a program to prove that a group of ordered pairs defined a digraph that was closed but not cyclic while my young interviewer watched on. I have no idea why a health management company would ever need that; much less in 45 minutes.
