Well, you know... something like "You have 12 hours - make a two-player chess game, using either images or letters for the pieces."

That would be nice, although the industry aka real-life... doesn't have an interest in graduates that can just write computer games...

Or something like the Informatics Olympiad:
You have three hours. Write programs to answer these three questions. Ready, steady, go. |

Nice. This dude in the year above me is probably one of the best coders in the country for his age group.

Some of the best coders I've seen are not the college graduates or the fortran/cobol dinosaurs... its pre-teens and teenagers that are pretty sharp these days. There ideas / approach to a solution seems to be very unique.
