My subjective view is that they're stupid only in the space of real world scenarios but not in the space of problem solving capability tests :-)
They are short enough and have small solution space enough to be usefull in such tests. No offence - what some useful and utile test chunks with similar properties based on real world scenarios would be? I'm asking just since my poor mind can't think of any such a solution right now, not to boost the quarrel.
