One thing I want to add is that developers that have many decades of experience will probably fail simple tests because they never heard about a LRU cache. The same for the parser, I never written a parser so give me some simple clues what you want me to develop.
The reason why I would probably fail the first test is because I have multiple solutions for your question and I don't have the experience of your company to know which one you want or need.

It's amazing how applicable this is to IT in general. Specialized knowledge of relevant systems is important, but you always expect to have to learn a lot about your new environment anyway.
