Ha, but seriously, I hate take home assignments.

This is almost entirely the point of take home assignments. In fact, this is almost word for word what my response would be to anyone who doesn't like take home assignments!

Step two is admitting that, in general, evaluating people using non-empirical means is an enterprise fraught with peril.
