Yes. Because it's a vague unbounded take-home exam and when companies pull stunts like this, they're usually looking for candidates to go 'above and beyond'.
I've done take-homes before and have been rejected because I followed the prompt to a tee and only did the exact amount of effort they wanted, and was quite literally told that they expected me to do more (outside of the prompt). If you've done enough of this game then everything in the OP will be extremely familiar to you.
