You can outsource the task, but you can't outsource the discussion afterwards. I recently had to hire: shortlisted a couple of candidates and gave them a simple task that shout take 1-2h to complete. I also gave them more than a week to complete it. They could have outsourced it,but they'd struggle to walk me through the whole thing, because you start poking around to see how deep you can ask and it becomes pretty clear pretty soon where their limits are and why they did x over y and etc.
