Well, other than R, I've never programmed in a functional language before. I programmed Javascript in my High School intro to CS class back in 2004, but I can't imagine I could pass a test based on that alone.

Fizz Bizz is stupidly easy, but I honestly don't think that much of programming is hard in the first place. The hardest thing in my mind is designing a coherent program. You could add any requirements you'd like to your made-up language (no automatic garbage collect or reference counter, etc), but I think you'd be able to tell pretty easily if they were the real deal.
