To be honest, the fact they don't tell us the actual problem they set their candidate on makes it hard for us to evaluate it either way. In fact, it could lead one to wonder why they don't just tell us what it was.

That is true. Like in any project, research, or work, the devil is in the details. I personally think everyone could have been more understanding of the situation and clarified specifics. However, in the end no one won. The talent has left and the company still needs to fill a position with a capable candidate.
