A take-home test has a 0% chance of being cheated on? Are you sure you're talking about the same thing here?

Our exercise can't be cheated on because we discuss it with the candidate during the in-person interview and even ask them to change the code in a simple way.

Also, the exercise is designed to be original and so a solution can't be Googled.

We're talking only about the "in their own time" take-home types of tests. The type of cheating I'm talking about is outsourcing the problem or even just having a friend do it for them.
