Debugging interviews are great, because it really allows you to see how someone thinks. You give them a working test and some buggy code, then ask them to debug it and take as much time as they need while you look over your shoulder (virtually). IDC what the methodology is or the time it takes, if you can solve logic puzzles, you'll make a decent programmer.
