you should see some interview questions I was asked on undisclosed occasions...

how about:
define class Fraction (as in 1/3, 2/5) and implement operator+ for this class

or:
can you implement a re-entrant mutex given OS primitives. what primitives do u need? (u can do it in pseudo-code, that's ok)

or...

you got the idea...

I liked them so much I started asking them myself.
operator+ looks innocent, but I haven't seen a single person who got it right on 1st attempt
