This seems like a very childish response to me. Perhaps it would have been better to simply decline the offer and list your reasons, rather than berating the recruiter.
As it currently appears, the argument is not even very clearly thought out. You just kind of yell at them about slavery and feudalism, which imho doesn't have any relation to the puzzle you were asked to solve.
I agree that I wouldn't have done it, but then again, I don't want to work for Facebook.
If it would be a real time interview - for sure. But after sending CV I just got that mail with task.
Let me underline it - they never TALKED to me. They asked if I want to send them CV - and right after I got this.
I don't have any problems with recruiter - I'm more than sure it could be a great person - but if the company gives her such a workflow - it's, from my point of view, is scary at the least.
Facebook is an odd company. When I applied they sent me a page of information about how all the people saying the work environment was bad are wrong. Oddly defensive and sensitive. I live in New Zealand not near SV was unaware of any bad press until they send me a page of defensive articles unprompted.
