True but I am not hiring a freelancer. I don't think anyone spent a few hours interviewing to try and make $500 off me. I am just trying to be considered of their time, and make it clear I am not giving a giant programming assignment to 100 developers and only picking the 1 best, as that stinks for those doing the homework.

If you get to the paid homework step, we are ready to hire you, pending successful homework.
