How recent are these Yelp interview questions?

Where do these Yelp interview questions come from?

From candidates who sat the interview. Some send us their questions by email or upload; the rest we summarize from interview experiences, on the public board or published elsewhere, then verify and file by company, format and round. Nothing covered by an NDA is accepted, and the sourcing rules are published in full at /methodology.
