The tone of the post is pretty offensive, yes.

But I've noticed a pattern, which is that folks who talk a lot about using these tests talk in this rather offensive way. It makes me think that companies that start off with these test have somewhat abusive attitude towards their employees - "we don't mind making you jump through hoops so we don't have to". Might not be a signal this is a great place to work.

Maybe the company could promise to solve a puzzle I submitted if I solved their puzzle? It might seem fairer.
