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?

We were talking about different things. Meaning that I was talking about is about the descriptive equivalence between things.
Equivalence is meaningless, when are "abstract"

Meaning that you're now talking about is about what is evolutionarily good/leads to survival.
Ther no other meaning, besides that simple meaning supplied by the evolution, which looks very deterministic.

I'd figure an ultrafinitist like you would ignore such large numbers.
Yes. Because these numbers are meaningless and useless. You wont find them in actual programs or other engineering designs.

Personally, I assign a higher than 50% probability
What is "probability"? In practice I have seen only reational numbers in the form hits/total, which were called "probability". I dont see, were you got these default rationals for this "truth" of yours.
