That was actually a good way to figure out if a candidate has real experience coding or has just prepped the Leetcode questions to get a green Submitted pop-op in LC. I am still not sure about how Meta organize their coding rounds, with all the 'leaked' questions. Their reasoning

There is a large pool of suggested questions, but people can ask their own too. The questions are listed in the feedback and the hiring panel will take into account both the questions and how well calibrated the interviewer is with those questions (and many more data points) in interpreting the feedback. Much more complex than it appears.
Meta is extremely practical so they will spend as much time improving this process as they deem necessary to catch the most number of "memorizers" with an acceptable false positive rate - which will be corrected for through the performance process and firing people quickly later on who aren't performing.
