I was thinking that request sounds insane for a job interview.  If an applicant provides a working solution to a request such as that, I hope it's a high paying position and/or they're paying you for time spent on it.
My company doesn't really pay a lot.  In our last round of IT interviews we just asked them to hand write a fizz buzz solution.
