On the one hand, this exercise probably reflects a realistic task. Daily engineering work comprises a lot of reverse engineering and debugging of messy code.
On the other hand, this does not seem very suitable as an isolated assignment. The lack of code base-specific context has a lot of potential for frustration. I wonder what they really tested on the candidates, and whether this was what they wanted to filter for. |

I think that's one of the intentional points. Being able to quickly understand what the provided source code is doing.
