In order to be allowed to buy a ticket they should have a simple dynamically-generated programming challenge so non-programmers can't search for the exact answer. Maybe some kind of dynamically generated boolean math problem to be implemented with if-else statements.

A regex should just about cover it.

  There are a large number of developers that still ask me "How do you do <simple thinghere> in regex?" quite often. I think that your suggestion may be narrowing the crowd a bit much.

You should have to write a working Juniper configuration to establish a peering session at an exchange with YouTube. Then non-network engineers wouldn't be grabbing up all the tickets.

They could just integrate http://codecha.org/ http://codecha.org/. "Codecha: Prove you're human through your code."

  Really cool idea, but something seems up with the is_even() python question. A valid solution is not passing the site's validation.

Google IO is not only for programmers though.
