It's hard to decide for me without seeing the data. Even if you don't know the exact exercise, seeing the title and the function name/parameters is often enough for me to guess what the challenge is. I checked the public questions on exercism and almost all of those (that I spot checked) that contained the function name were extremely obvious. Knowing it's a programming challenge would also improve my guessing chances.

For example the function stubs I can find are "value_of_card(<card>)" in exercise "Black Jack", or "generate_seat_letters(<number>)" in exercise "Plane Tickets". I think I could guess those without seeing the rest of the question.
