Not just one kind of bread, but a whole variety.
If someone asked me to solve one of those interlocking toys in an interview, I'd walk out.

My favorite is to get something fundamental like how to program an ant on a 2D plane to find the sugar in a maze, report the location to its colony (at a wildly different location), and find a reasonably direct path. There is no way someone can spit that out in an interview, but it will teach you about their ability to think.

A* only takes about a minute to describe. Either your interviews are really short, or you're wasting too much time playing with children's toys.
