So I've been asked to come up with some programming questions for a coding contest, but I'm having trouble coming up with good ones.

The only good one (at least I think it's good) I've has is to create a program that prints out every unique state possible given a filled in Petri Net (if there are infinite possible states, then the program should never exit).

Can anybody think of another good one, or throw some half formed ideas at met that can get me thinking in the right direction?

Break it down into a few categories:
Basic math computations
Advanced math computations
Math computations that require building classes to extend the capabilities (LargeInt, Rational, etc)
String processing
Data parsing
Algorithm stressing (obvious algorithm is O(n^3), data cannot be processed unless non-obvious algorithm is O(n ln(n)) )
etc.
Programming is a branch of mathematics.
