The third question was to generate all possible values for a string (for example if you have 'mother' sent as a string generate all possible strings you can have with the letters m, o, t, h, e, r like 'mthero', 'omther', 'therom', .....)

There was a logic question that consisted of creating a scenario, where there were pieces of paper with a number on one side of the paper and a letter on the other side. There were four different pieces of paper: one with an X and another with a Y. The other two have a 1 and 2 on it respectively. My interviewer then gave me the assertion "On the back of every paper with an X, there is an even number" I was then asked which pieces of paper I needed to flip over in order to prove the assertion.

There was for instance a basic coding challenge interview at the start. But a thing I'll mention is, for a high-level company like FB, there was an odd obsession with basics, when people don't work that way -- it's not that it's irrelevant, it's better to be solid than not, but it's a tiny piece of the puzzle that's gating prospective hires. It was strange to not be asked the types of questions that would indicate actual capacity to innovate, manage, etc. I would have only done that kind of challenge for maybe a fresh graduate, not someone who's done real work.
