A weeder question I've used:

How many operations can a modern CPU perform per second: A) Thousands, B) Millions, C) Billions

We'll accept C, and B with explanation. I'd say roughly 75% of the people I've asked (who have gotten through a phone interview) cannot answer it with any ability.

People whine about the difficulty of interviews, but honestly, almost everyone we've ever hired have said the interview was pretty straight forward, and nervousness is the biggest issue. Sucky people whine about reversing a linked list or finding a cycle or whatever.
