This really doesn't reflect a programmers skills in anyway. I managed to write ruby to solve the problems, but I approached it to do for fun. Brain teasers aren't going to weed out the good from bad. Also, considering the instructions explicitly say "write code to..." I would say using tools that give you the answers is in fact cheating. It's like math test where you have to show your work.
