I get what your saying, and have been given bad interview tests before.

My baseline test is to swap keys and values in a [hash/map/dictionary]. In any language of their choice. So [a=>1, b=>2, c=2] Becomes [1=>a, 2=>[b,c]]

75% fail completely. Some struggle but pass.

Others complete it in a minute and are confused as to why such an easy test.
