I think take-home projects are great for evaluating domain experience and general programming aptitude but should be relatively small. Anything that would take more than 1-2 hours is an overkills, although sadly I see a lot of companies expecting you to build a full product (e.g. production ready iOS app with custom design and full test coverage).

  N.B. the LOE estimates of 2 & 5 days were theirs, not mine.
