Definitely hyperbole. I dabbled in competitive programming many years ago in high school. There's are only a handful of people I know that might be able to correctly complete 3 leetcode hard questions within one hour (they're the ones that end up in ICPC for example). There's no way the bar is actually that high, otherwise they wouldn't be able to recruit many thousands of people every year.
