Pretty much how I felt with my experience. Aced the quiz, completed about 95% of the project, then got anxious with a very open-ended presentation I had to make up on the spot, and the interviewer was very not pleased with anything I did. Got rejected and was sent a long list of complaints about me and my work. Don't think I would have survived to meet the "founders" they had anyway.
I also partook in this, except with lots of "goblins". I forced them to live in a house locked away from the outside world with plenty of canvasses in the house, and plenty of things to do that weren't painting (indoor pool).
The specialty rule is that there weren't enough beds, so I tried to get them all into relationships so they would share beds with minimal interaction. If they didn't, then some would pass out on the floor.
They all lived a life of luxury with how much money they printed.

I went this route albeit differently. I purchased an older model Thinkpad T440 for about $300 off eBay a few years ago, and it's one of my favorite laptops to have still. 8GB of RAM, 4th gen mobile Intel i7, 240GB SSD. I've been using it for probably about 3 years now as my travel laptop.
The keyboard on it is really fantastic, but the touchpad is not something I'm proud of.
I work in an area of refurbishing phones, this is something I deal with sometimes.
Often times we receive phones that are completely locked, but depending on the version, you can bypass it by using Android manipulation tricks. If a phone has FRP (factory reset protection) enabled, then it is locked to the original account, and the phone setup process, even after a factory reset, is a lot different. The phone requires that WiFi is enabled and connected to a network, as opposed to optional, and that the original account owner signs into it in order to set it up.
The bypass trick is going into either emergency phone call mode, or by going into TalkBack settings and bringing up the global context menu to do what I call are break-outs. You can dial an emergency phone number (I hate doing this) and hop to the Bluetooth Android settings, which then lets you navigate to Backup&Reset, and from that you can completely wipe the phone and get rid of FRP. You must enter the settings before the phone hangs up.
Or you can go into TalkBack, activate it, go through help docs, and try to find a help doc that links you to an exterior site like YouTube through Chrome (not the app). From the browser, download any kind of APK, then head into APK installation settings where you have to grant security permissions to install APKs from unknown sources, which then takes you to Android settings, which you can then do a full factory reset to remove FRP.
I've also seen on Android 8 or newer that you can use the Google assistant type-text modes to do break-outs as well from inside the locked phone setup process. YMMV, but these are things I've done in practice on some slightly older phones.
