He admitted to lying about it? Do you have a source for that? I couldn't find anything.

- eru 2y agoI was at Google when that happened, and had some inside sources (ie gossip from the guys who interviewed him, who said they didn't even ask any tree questions, and memegen). I tried to find some outside sources, but nothing about Howell admitting his 'artistic license' outright. So take my fallible memory with a large pinch of salt. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15713801 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15713801 for some discussion, and to see how 'invert a binary tree' wasn't even an established term that anyone at Google would have used.
