I think it could be an interesting twist to use a quiz like this as a
means of conditioning people into writing to satisfy test cases, not
just written specs. Along with the description of the problem, you
could define a stub object and unit tests, which people could use to
test that their solution did indeed solve the problem.

At that point, you'd have a full-fledged training program, not just an
entertaining diversion. It would be nice to also be able to offer an
online test harness, so people could submit their code through the web
and get the results immediately, but the security concerns are
probably just too sticky.
