I am sorry but this is insulting. You should practice what makes you better at your job, not jump through hoops for someone else’s entertainment. So yes, some of us, are logical enough to not join the hazing ritual. Just cause you want to do it doesn’t mean others should.

Just think of it as part of the job. The trade off is minimal, while the benefit is clear. If you still don't want to do it then its cool, less competition for those who want.

My point was that the interview process is flawed. It's really just a proxy for an IQ test (a gameable one). I think for a company like Google, it is somewhat understandable - they have very mature processes, strict coding guidelines, and overall very little choice in the tech you use. They are hiring for a "smart cog" rather than "innovative/experienced engineer".
