I reject all that too, the recruitment process is broken, it's not even the riddles it is the stupidity of some tests for the "less bright" companies. But every problem is an opportunity :), now most of my freelance work are companies who "had a problem and couldn't find anyone willing to solve it" and me who asked "can I give it a shot?" Showing you want to solve problem so far "works for me" much better than doing the guinea pig with riddles
