Netflix take home coding exercise

Feels like i can keep going with the question. No time limit. How many hours do you spend on it? When do you stop? What are the key things that they are looking for in your solution?

โ€œHow many hours do you spend on it? When do you stop?โ€ I got the feeling thatโ€™s part of what they are looking at. (I donโ€™t evaluate exercise, might be wrong)

Not sure about the team (each their own) but our team wouldnโ€™t flunk on a coding exercise, itโ€™s a discussion point (coding style, performance considerations, ...)

The best advise I got when asking "how long should I take" on a take home test was this: Take as long as you need to produce a solution that you would be proud to show your potential boss. If it's not your best work, spend more time until it is. Of course, you must still work within the confines of the test. If you're given a week, don't spend 2 ;)

DM me OP. If it's my team or someone else I know I can give you better guidance. Regardless I want to tell people that they aren't being clear with time requirements.
