I've did a few of these take home challenges during the interviewing process.

All of mines have had a time limit to them of an hour. The process has always been

1) arrange a time with the recruiter when I will be free for an hour, e.g.lets say 1PM.

2) recruiter emails me the challenge at around 12:58. I get the challenge and have to code the solution and have it back to the recruiter by 2PM.

Then at the face to face interview we've went through a code review of my code and talked about why I chose to do somethigns the way I did, if I had to more time what would I do differently, was there anything in my solution that I wasn't happy with etc.

Seems to work reasonably well.

There is no way on earth I would be dedicating a weekend or more to an interview task.
