This reasoning is flawed. You'll have no way of knowing if your candidate's answer is actually correct (they may come up with a working solution that's different than your ore-canned answer), or whether they have a flaw.
The whole point of hard problems is to see how people approach problems - and having them identify their own mistakes and correct for them is part of that.
