I'm glad that I'm starting to get feedback like this. I believe you that more companies are doing work sample tests.
For the the gigs that asked you to do these problems: did you also get interviewed with a standard programming interview? If you had to guess, between 1% and 100%, how much of the weight of your technical evaluation do you feel was on the sample challenges you did at home, versus Q&A and whiteboard coding on-site (or on the phone)?

Don't remember details about interviews, but I'd tell that homework was about 75%, because in those two cases they told me that I exceeded their expectations and they learned something new from my projects.
