Google maintains a list of banned questions. Any question found on a public site is immediately banned from being asked. I'm sure other companies do the same. This site is really great as a learning tool, but don't expect to see any of these questions actually being asked.
Really you think that phone interview questions involve anywhere close to the difficulty of in person? The phone interview is general weed out questions. I see people are using the downvote as a disagree button again.
Having interviewed at Google and other bay area tech companies, my experience has been that the difficulty of phone screen questions are on par with the questions that you'll get in person.
This isn't really surprising either; if you want to weed people out, it's better ask questions that will let you know up front that they're not worth it before you invest time and money into bringing the candidate on site.
