Most of the population are not programmers.
For someone who already knows a PL or 2, the picture is very different: There are maybe 32-50 questions that get repeated in almost every "code puzzle"-style interview. Which ones these are is actively monitored and curated in several communities.
A person intelligent enough to know a PL, can simply memorize these questions. "Learning for the test" is a standard, and successful, strategy to game predictable test environments. We see it in educational systems using standardized multiple choice tests, why would it be different in bad code interviews?
