This is a great point.

Yes, I recognized this issue during my run with the quiz.  I did try  
to fight it some, but my efforts weren't very successful.  In my  
experience, it was just a lot easier to get people interested in the  
algorithm problems.

However, many of the quizzes I enjoyed the most weren't algorithm  
heavy problems.
