Yeah like the CTF style questions a lot, and would love to see something similar for the more "creative/production" based jobs.

Don't think it would be very appropriate to give someone who's job it is to develop novel/new stuff a challenge like that, but at the same time there are parallels.

Often development jobs have you need to read unfamiliar code that can be poorly documented and then have to either fix or integrate something new into a system. Would love to see something to assess's a candidates ability there.
