They're selecting for the effort you'll put in to get in as a proxy for the effort you'll put in once you are in. Same way tech companies do leetcode. Has little to no bearing on skill. Only whether you are cut out for this sort of grind.

Yes, I understand it. In spite of uploading hundreds of torrents to what.cd I never remembered the exact rules/flowcharts of things as I just have a poor memory for these kind of things. To this day I can't even recite the full alphabet.
It's their site, they can do what they want with it. And I can have my opinions on the petty bureaucraticness.
