Some clarifications:
1. We only used code from the guy who won, and he never saw the other submissions.
2. The interview project was time boxed to 24 hours. The guy who won did it in about 9 hours.
The actual feature is big, and has lots of edge cases: our devices need to be able to update themselves when new versions become available, roll back if there's an error, archive past versions, and never, ever end up in a state where they're bricked. The applicants did a small toy implementation of this functionality. The guy who won wrote good enough initial code to be used as a foundation for the rest.
