The one that really threw me was writing a function to solve a pretty advanced calculus problem. My degree isn't in CS, so I only took high school calculus and it's been so long since then it took me a couple days of study to even understand the challenge. I was interviewing for a front-end position, so it seems like overkill but I'm not going to fault them for looking for someone of that level.
