A guy I know recently had something similar in an interview. The interviewer wanted him to test if a word was a pallindrome without using a reverse function. Wasn't T-SQL though.
He came up with a solution in the interview.
Afterward, he asked friends (including me) how to do it more efficiently. Was a fun challenge.
