The entire idea is a bit wacky. But then it really demonstrates why "coding interviews" that consist entirely of algorithm questions and puzzle questions are pointless. If your interview can be studied for then you're not hiring the best engineers, you're hiring the people willing to devote the most time to studying such things. At that point why not just ask the person to turn over a grade transcript?
