You are testing if they have how to convert a number to string in working memory. Is that really helpful.. in real life they would look it up refresh themselves. You just filtered people who can look up answers and learn things. Aren't those skills more inline with what most positions need?

Converting a simple type to a string is pretty basic, though. How else would you display things to the user?
