I certainly agree that writing proofs and algorithm concepts is a heavy bias towards CS grads. The issue there isn't so much with the concepts involved with the particular problem as with the structure of a proof and the approach to those problems in general. Once you've learned about induction formally, it's much easier to use it in a proof, even if you can understand what it is anyhow.
On the other hand, I'm not sure virtual memory is such a concept. I'm under the impression that virtual memory is a topic tons of people are talking about and that it's hard to get away from it even if you're a programmer without a CS degree. Of course, this could just be the result of my being a Linux enthusiast.
