Similar story here. I got it in zero because this problem shows up at the early part of HPMOR.
I suspect that the basic idea behind it is about right (people who insist on failures before committing to a theory will probably do "better"). But it seems to me that this test will be best at selecting people who've seen it before and can pretend they didn't (or even remember to ask negative questions when someone asks you to guess three numbers to get the job).
