I didn't expect to get a brain teaser question but it was fairly easy. Q: There are 3 jars with 3 labels on it. Each jar contains sweet, sour, or mix (sweet + sour) flavor jellybeans, however, all 3 labels are wrong. Find a way to correct each labels by tasting jellybeans.

Not going to get into a specific question, but they asked me to write a web app to do something. This isn't something I've ever had to do before in a remote interview so I asked the interviewer what he meant by that. He told me to share my screen on Skype and write a web app from scratch which solves a certain problem. After that he asked some architecture / scaling questions.
