A lot of good people will close-up and not voluntarily ask you any question if you put them under pressure. (What they automatically are on that exercise.)

What is not to say that you are making anything wrong. But watch for bias there.

This sounds like the kind engineer who won't push back or ask for clarification on unclear requirements - and happily spend a month solving a problem the business doesn't have.

So maybe seeing that at interview time is a good thing?

Might not mean the candidate doesn't fit - but can clarify what kind of roles would work?

There's no way to solve the interview/interviewee problem though, the whole thing is impossibly fucked and is going to have false positives/negatives no matter what.
