Sometimes it is best to remember that you are a person and are not in competition with algorithms.
The author labels the first riddle thusly:
Intelligence test
And reinforces this with the first sentence:
Test your intelligence with the following widget!
If trying to solve it is fun and the faux implication immaterial, awesome. However, if the expressed characterization of:
Don't feel bad if a machine beats you ...
Is bothersome, remember that all of this is just one person's way of shaping your experience such that continued engagement is likely.
