   The problem with using puzzles in coding interviews is that you end up selecting for people who like puzzles and that's how your production code will inevitably be written.

     @yogthos bigger brain move (that I've heard actually being used): get them to actually code a bit of your project. Make them sign an NDA and an agreement that the code they write for the interview will be owned by you.
