I haven't looked at the site (no interest for Ruby, I must confess), but your description 
reminds me of a site I just discovered yesterday: JavaBat <http://www.javabat.com/>

It asks to solve some simple problems (sometime too simple, I solved some "recursive" 
puzzles with a simple String.replace()...) with a bit of Java code, compiles it, runs it 
and checks against a set of input/output pairs.

Maybe some of these puzzles can be adapted to your needs.
