I prefer them than other live questions/problems. I believe it REALLY evaluates someone's abilities to understand, research, execute, and prepare a clean thought out solution. This is how it probably works when a company assigns tasks to developers for real customer needs.

Yes it does take longer than other assignments as it the question/problem is not trivial and could not be found with a simple google search but I find it the best way for a candidate to be evaluated.
