During an interview, both sides should get the signs.. Like most of the people say in the comments, if you ever meet this kind of questions in an interview, then this is a red flag not to work there!
Another thing that bothers me is when I see in the job ad something like: "Preferred qualifications: Msc, PhD".. Most of the big tech companies are found by a bunch of nerd teens.. Most of those guys not even have a BSc degree..
I understand that the interviewers should do a strict filtering to find the right candidates, but asking this kind of questions it seems that they were not the right candidates for their position..
On the other hand though, by asking this kind of stuff, it might be a psychological test to see how the candidate react to such a challenge. Even in this case scenario, I am against them.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
