A brain teaser is a puzzle (usually a verbal puzzle) that requires creative and abstract thinking to solve. The solution is not straight forward, you have to think "outside of the box" to solve it.
Example: "What gets more wet the more it dries?"
The answer would be a towel because a towel dries other things by absorbing water and making itself more wet.
In this context, a "trip-you-up" brain teaser would be one that is similar to the example above with the towel. It's a trick question because the answer is simple, but you first need to figure out the trick.
What the interviewer is saying is that they will not use these silly brain teasers, instead they will ask problem-solving type brain teasers like:
"How many golf balls would fit in a school bus?"
or
"What is the best way to find a needle in a haystack?"
These are "thinking" problems that are designed to make you use your brain-power and problem-solving skills to come up with creative solutions.
It's not just a "trick" or a simple answer, you need to be able to show your method and thought processes. How is it that you arrived at such a solution? What methods or tools did you think of to help you solve the problem? Did you account for possible errors or other problems with your method, etc.

Below is the context.
When interviewing, I look for candidates that have found work they are passionate about, and have made an effort to learn the skills they need to do that job well. Working hard is a large chunk of it. I also ask questions to determine how clearly you think through a problem, and how well you can explain yourself. There aren't strict academic requirements, and we're discouraged from using silly, trip-you-up brain teasers. None of this requires you to be a genius (although if you are, that would be great too!)
