This is worse than LeetCode in my opinion. Because all it is, is a shallow copy of LeetCode. You've constructed a puzzle by laying out a picture and cutting out particular pieces. It's "find the differences" between what you've given them and the image in your mind.
> If I’m hiring a landscaper, I’m not gonna ask them to tell me about the classification of ficus in Fiji, or the specific reproduction period of Douglas Fir in the West Coast. I’m gonna ask them to trim a tree and see if the result suits me.
And the landscaper will walk. They will not work for free. They'll give you references, they'll show you pictures of work they've done before, but they won't do work for you.

I didn't make this one up. That's how one of my friend got interviewed for his current job as a landscaper, he actually worked with the company for a day.
