I think one of the best places to look is www.rubyquiz.com. 

1) As of right now, there's 76 different coding exercises listed. 
2) You get to see how a bunch of different people try to solve the problem
3) You get James's excellent breakdown of at least one of those submitted

It's been a huge help for me and countless others.
