Completely disagree with the above two posts. In some exceptional circumstances someone may be able to produce the best possible result they could have hoped to achieve by spending a very short time on it. But that would be more of a reflection on their weak English skills than anything else. In the vast majority of cases I think you'll find the quality of the answer is (to a large degree) directly proportional to the amount of time spent conceiving it. By your philosophy, at my more than 100 word per minute typing speed I could write a novel in a day. But do you think it would be a good one?
And it's moot to suggest that the quality of your answers is irrelevant so long as it gets you to the initial assessment. Do you really think the initial screening process is the first and last time anyone will look at your answers?
