I see two data points they could have: time when the template was downloaded (assuming it’s a unique link only you can access, and you didn’t download it > once/all downloads are logged) or emailed, and the time it was submitted.
No, I agree. I just mean like when they say, hey this will take 2 hours, how do they know? Do they even care? Or just everyone cheats and does more than the allotted time?
I did one take home that was timed in coderpad. I thought that was a little more fair.
They have no idea how long they take. They come up with a task first and then slap a time limit on it afterwards so they don’t feel bad about asking too much.

All other time stamps can be spoofed.
