I used to love giving these puzzles earlier in my career. I used to tell the candidates that there are no points for getting the right answers. I just want them to think aloud. I was always interested in the thought processes they had and innovativeness in thinking about problems in different ways. Today, my interviews are of very different nature (because the jobs are different)
