You should not need 4 interviews to hire some one and I have my doubts about cutesy algo based coding challenges.

No hire.

Candidate came off as smug and didn't even try to qualify his opinion with supporting evidence or experience.

Well I do have a number of decades of experience dealing with hr/ir issues and I am sure that any HR professional would agree with me that 4 interviews is two to many - I might allow a phone interview plus two FTF.
