This would be acceptable in a world where time is infinite. The reality is that they are going to churn through -who knows- how many candidates, as if it was worthless, as if it was a game.
If they really wanted people to spend little time on the solution, they could include that bit of info in their instructions. Clearly, they omit that bit on purpose. Obviously this is not their first rodeo, they must have done this for a long amount of time now.
- anonymousiam 1y agoAs I said above, I did a lot of this when time and money constraints severely limited exploration of the solution space, yet I succeeded most of the time. Guessing is a skill, and some people are better at it than others. An "educated guess" is based upon knowledge and experience, but little more. I don't really know that this is what Kagi was looking for though. Perhaps they wanted something more than a guess but less than a full solution. Maybe just enough to gauge the confidence of the candidate. The "new business" environment often involves a lot of guesswork.
