It's just a variation on the typical logic/creative thinking questions that a lot of people and companies obsess over.
"Well they're a great candidate otherwise but they totally failed the boiling water on alternate planet question, so let's keep searching" - believe it or not, that's a real mentality out there. I don't get it and never have.

I had a phone interview with Google and was asked to come up with a variation of a soduko solver. Couldn't get it there and then, but half an hour later walking down the road, a really elegant solution came to me.
