Programming Interviews

So in my job search I've learned something important - I'm really really really bad at programming tests and interviews. Actually, I'm pretty decent at standard algorithms/data structures-related questions that come up on phone screens, but I'm awful when it comes down to ironing out the details and dealing with edge cases. Just now I horribly failed a take-home test and I feel like total shit right now.

I realize I need more practice, and I've heard from a lot of people that TopCoder's practice rooms are a great way to do it.

Here's the problem:

I find the problems, even the lower-point ones, to be WAY too fucking hard. Is there a similar place with problems that are easier, or at least less math-heavy?

"Simple" != meaningful.
What is this meaning anyways? I don't even think 'meaning' means anything. For humans it's just association between a huge tree/graph of self-referential concepts. For axiomatic systems, it's just true statements within them.
By "subjective" I mean what I myself see and just that.
But you can verify an axiomatic system by running a theorem prover in a computational device, and you can observe the results if you wish.
A false theory is false, even if not halted by a contradiction. -- L. E. J. Brouwer
That quote seems to only return results from your posts and some russian forum. I don't know what "false" even means in that case. For me the word inconsistent just means "no contradiction". Real world meaning of 'false' just means that something is not of the value that is claimed (for example: "the keys are in the pocket" is false if the keys are not in the pocket").
What is "consciousness"? You are a little cranky, because official science hasnt answered this question today.
Science can't answer that question since consciousness either doesn't exist or it exists, but has no causal properties (some form of epiphenomenalism). For me, it's just the unique way I perceive my own internal state, nothing else.
