Being able to hide complexity can easily solve this problem. A user interface can come in multiple flavors. The default interface is typically simple and suitable for 95% of people. The other 5% need things like stats for nerds, advanced options, etc. Making advanced options limited defeats the purpose of advanced options. If you have too many casual users clicking through to advanced options, it means you did a bad job separating concerns in the first place.

Are you a senior developer or architect? I can't imagine an employer would humor this with a new recruit or junior developer. A lot of larger employers also have rigid processes for onboarding new people and modifying contracts isn't always something they're willing to do.

Curious -- what were the puzzles like? Do you remember any specific puzzles? I'm thinking of doing one but I don't know what to expect.

Edit: Not sure why downvoted, I'm genuinely curious of this person's experience. Is asking not allowed?
