Congratulations! You must be that arrogant guy everybody hates interviewing with, the one with the superiority complex.
How about instead of just failing people over literally nothing (wasting everybody's time and money) - just ask the candidate whether they could somehow reduce the search space by utilizing the properties of a prime number?
