However it's easily tweaked for employers who want to do some flavor of this but actually respect their employees:
> Have the candidate make assumptions and document their reasoning (risks invalidating the final product but that's a slim chance)
> Meet late Monday or later that week
One point I haven't seen mentioned here: If I'm currently employed and interviewing, I am not going to take two days of vacation just so that I can interview with you, work on something for you over my weekend, then interview with you again.

Well, context is everything. In principle, I do not want to be expected to work overtime, and it starts at the interview. Also, I am not against taking a day of vacation for interviews (but this is maybe cultural). But if the job is really interesting, I can adapt. And I appreciate the fact that if am asked to work during a week-end, the person interviewing me offers to be reachable too.
