I wonder how widespread it's become in shitty prepare-for-coding-interview materials, so variations might be needed, but as a tool for identifying non-programmers, it is extremely good. It's ridiculous how good it is, it really shouldn't be, because as a decent programmer, it's so hard to understand how anyone could apply for a programming job, yet still be so bad at programming that they can't pass the test. And yet, there are so many people like that it's fucking scary.
