I was thinking the same yesterday, looking for "interview question" submissions (there have been quite a few good ones) using the algolia HN search.
Out of about ten links I clicked, I think there was only one that still worked. All the rest I had to run through the IA, whose homepage takes 5 seconds to load enough for the search box to show up, then wait for it to load the captures, and finally wait for it to fetch one of the captures. A direct link would be very welcome.
The addition should be easy, no need to query the IA site or anything because IA will find the nearest date to the request automatically iirc. Something like one week after the submission would allow post-submission updates without being likely to show a 404 capture.
(By the way, the question I ended up picking for our applicant was: "what did you like or dislike about the culture in previous places you've worked at or interned?" It went over well and I got some insight into what they'd expect (or enjoy) when joining the team. The colleague I did the interview with later said it was a good question :).)
