If you didn’t pay attention during college lectures, it can come back to bite you when you least expect it.

Immigration officers are now asking people to solve computer science problems to verify their antecedents, claims a Nigerian software engineer. “I was just asked to balance a Binary Search Tree by JFK’s airport immigration,” tweeted Celestine Omin, who’s a based out of Lagos, and was traveling to the US. “I was too tired to think of the BST solution,” he rues, saying that he’d just been on a 23 hour flight.

And it wasn’t just one question out of the blue – Omin says that he was asked around 10 computer science questions to verify if he really was a software engineer. What’s worse, it wasn’t even a trained software engineer quizzing him – he says that if he didn’t give the Wikipedia definition, his answers weren’t deemed to be correct. Omin says was given an A4 sheet to show his steps to the immigration official.
