I just got asked to do the problem where you calculate permutations of coins to total X cents problem. I spent 2 minutes with Claude passing their test suite. I had 58 minutes left in the test so I redid the solution with dynamic programming, converted to TypeScript, added JSDoc annotations, runtime profiling, caching, even some Easter Eggs. They loved it.

I don’t know what the point of these quizzes are now. Actually I never knew what the point was. At least they are amusing now.
