Thanks, but I'm a programmer, not a magician. A good programmer might work faster, but he's not able to reduce any amount of work to a constant.
A good programmer may accomplish in 4 hours what an average one will accomplish in 7-8, but he will not be able to do it in 1 hour. Also, he will still seem inferior to an average programmer who took 20-25 hours to perfect this project, especially if those take-home tasks are all that other programmer does.
