Huh. That's crazy to me. I worked at a company that had a remote, 3 day test. It was pretty fun, and I still sometimes try out things on it to see how they work (it was a two-parter, with part 1 being to write an evaluation function, and part 2 solve a NP-hard search problem). I strongly feel that the information I gained from looking at the code candidates wrote for that problem told me lots of really good info. As far as I know, nobody cheated. (All submitted code as unique, and everybody could talk cogently about what they did. Some people did great things, some people terrible, and lots in the middle.) In conclusion, I would strongly recommend a "take home" test. Maybe give a bit longer than 24 hours. And make sure it's the same problem all the time, so you have a point of comparison.
