Acing a recruitment task? Get ready to be rejected!

I'm done, guys. In April, I sent an application for a Fullstack Python Developer internship at Samsung R&D.
After (allegedly) reviewing my CV, they decided to invite me to a test assessing my technical skills:

invitation to test

Great! I indeed got the e-mail with the invitation link soon after: test link

So I managed to find some time and solved the test the same day, fully focusing for ~90 minutes. Here are the results I got: results with dates Please note that correctness was the only and key factor in the assessment. It was explicitly stated in the test description that nobody was going to review my code. I cannot provide a screen as it's not available to me already, since I completed the assessment.

Happy that I did it, I waited the next 18 days to get hit with this: rejection

Seriously, Samsung? 100% being "not sufficient"?

Can you believe I had to write this e-mail? my reply

'correctness test cases' are just one part evaluating your responses.

Not really. In the description of the test it was stated that only correctness is taken into account. The code wasn't reviewed by anyone manually.
