Did you let them Google while doing your test?

Did you ask questions about their CV projects that dove into the implementation of the project?

Yes. They could google as much as they liked.

It's possible they were asked about the projects. But if they were it was waste of time. It's easier and faster if you sit someone down and check the basic capacity to do the job they are applying for. Even faster in some cases because some candidates that sent in CVs didn't even show up.
