Fizz buzz etc. might detect complete frauds, and at the other end some heavy algorithm questions might falsely reject good candidates who simply haven't applied that stuff in a long time. I think small at-home coding challenges are a sweet spot. They too reveal total rejects, but allow the rest to demonstrate their broader level of understanding and organization. And they make great follow-up discussion items.
