How about don't let them copy it at all. Show them the problem on a shared screen and they should speak the answer in 15 or 30 seconds.

If someone is visually impaired, it's short enough you can just read the problem text to them.

> Show them the problem on a shared screen

I'm pretty sure the intent is to weed people out well before they get to a point where you could share a screen with them. He mentioned a few people "resubmitted the application", so sure this is probably an initial step.

Can't read the problem when the point is to catch those who copy-paste the code.
