22 OOP questions. Many trick questions and overly specific things that aren't relevant to actual work. 2 coding exercises. One was a very tedious task of filtering a list of lists of strings, converting some of the strings to DateTimes, sorting by DateTime, then returning it back. The other was building something that converts integers to roman numerals. WHY?
