Sure, anything popular can be gamed. And countermeasures will in-turn be applied (checking for plagiarism, etc).
The point to note is that there is (usually) a job on the line, and a programming challenge is not the only part of the screening process -- it will usually be followed by a live coding session/interview. So the question is would someone risk gaming the process, when the chance of getting caught is high. We think not.
