I'm pretty sure they assume all the match sticks to be the same length (although not sure). And then, even if they were longer, as you said, you'd have isosceles triangles instead of equilateral.
But there is a way to do. I'll post the solution if you like.
Wouldn't you just snap them all in half? That'd give you 12 equal pieces and the exact amount needed for 4 triangles -

Yeah, that would work, as long as you're allowed to break the sticks. Not sure if you are (this interview was quite a while back for me so I don't remember exactly the parameters). But there's also a way to do it without breaking the sticks. -

There is at least 3 ways to do it I've seen. 2 with overlapping and 1 with going 3D. There are probably more... -

"what song sums up your work ethic? You will not get the role if you don't sing it"
I got the job but the company was even weirder to work for than it seemed.
Good experience of how to work with sociopaths mind you LOL. -

This is the song that doesn't end,
It goes on and on my friend,
Some people started singing it not knowing what it was
And they'll continue singing it forever just because...

My sister used to sing that with her friends.
Any time a job description contains the words "fast paced environment", I know it is not a job for me. I spent 4 years in Desktop Support, and fast paced was never a part of our work ethic. -

Tech support is my game
Helping people is part of the game
Weekend is almost here
Memorial day traffic is to fear....
But I will be home having some beer

Two routes diverged in a table,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one packet, soon as I was able
Contemplated which was more stable
Or where administrative distance had least growth;
I shall be telling this through a switch
Out some port, milliseconds hence:
Two routes diverged in a table, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
Because load balance makes all the difference. -

I guess employers have to ask these really dumb question to weed out those who are dumping interviews.
