It's not that great really. It's not bad, but when you're interviewing people just find a similar problem in your domain.
It's good for a young dev IMO because that problem has many solutions and shows the programming style of the dev as well. But I agree that having a problem that is related to the actual work is better.
It is great because it allows you to eliminate bad candidates very quickly. It can't be the only test, but it's very useful as the first one.
