Let's create a new programming roll thing
I think you could have 3 tiers for each roll, so that there are three difficulties. If you have a CS degree, getting reverse a string in place (hopefully) isn't a challenging exercise, but if you just started with Python a month ago, creating a raytracer might be a bit too challenging.
What are some suggestions?

>http server
>linux device driver
>distributed file system
>linear algebra library in a functional language
>graph analytics package that crawls and analyses the web graph
>a compiler for a stack based language
>symbolic math (e.g. differentiation, simplification) in scheme
>hangman in assembler
>find the shortest superstring for a bunch of input strings
Also, can someone make a logo?

The search continues, anon.
These all are by far better than the existing challenges.

A quadtree image compressor should be quite fun
Implement traceroute.
Shouldn't be so hard if you're familiar with ICMP and networking fundamentals. Maybe intermediate level?

Good idea, anon.
I'd also say the challenges shouldn't require too many lines of code, since they're meant to be intriguing, not exhausting. It'd also be cool if it was split somewhat by theme.
Example:
AI/Machine Learning:
Easy: Make a simple single-player gamethat has only one win condition (solitaire comes to mind - pic related) and have a bot play it and win it, telling it only the win condition
Medium: Bot that scans a 4chan thread and writes a sentence that makes sense using only words found in the thread
Hard: Make a game like arkanoid and have a bot play it over and over again, telling it only the score variable and that its goal is to make that score as high as possible

Someone should just make one solely with complex tasks. Not a replacement, but a complement to the current one.

What about Project Euler?
