That sort is pretty bonkers. I agree with the no hire because it doesn’t really display an understanding but if I got that as an answer in a technical interview, it would be fun to dive into why that code was written and might turn into a hire if we peer just a bit deeper under the hood of the thinking. This is why “solve for x” technical questions suck unless you make the actual interview about the back and forth. Assume a correct premise if it works and tweak and change and poke and prod to really sus out if they understand what and why that was written.
