One of the most intense but enjoyable interview I had was where I had to give a 1 hour presentation to all developers that wanted to show up (pretty much the entire group) and answer any of their questions on what ever it was I was talking about. I just happened to pick a topic that the audience was split on which made the questioning very spirited. Prior to that, I had a coding session with a couple of the guys. In this case it was, rather than me telling you, let me show you in a wee bit of code. It wasn't like I was being interviewed, it was like we were sitting together doing something, solving some little problem, presenting an idea.
