I'm sure I can do great in any coding challenge that actually test for problem solving and not esoteric algorithms knowledge. And when you stumble on the latter , it's hard to muster any motivation for the place. It's like applying for a driver position and they ask to verify how quickly you can change a tire (below 5 minutes is a must).
