Reading your description below (test cases et. al.), it doesn't seem as simple as you first make it seem. I start with something like, "Write a loop that displays the numbers 1 to 100." About 80% of the people I phone interview fail this test. Almost 100% of newly graduated students fail. I'm not sure if they are overthinking it, if schools are no longer teaching anything practical, or what.
