Sorry, but that's a terrible idea. As a bit of recreational fun, this game is fine for. But judging candidates on their ability to speed read would exclude a lot of very capable developers (as well as potentially land you into trouble under equal opportunity employment laws given the aforementioned bias this games introduces)
