Anyone know whether the problems of that Stanford programming course are online? It'd be fun (maybe!) to test oneself against the benchmarks. Of course, I'm sure the correctness tests aren't available even if the project specs are.

The class is CPSC 323, but it won't let me access it on the Yale server:

If you're really determined, you could email the teacher (see his homepage here: http://sce.cs.yale.edu/).

I think a better way to figure out your ability would be to do the problem described in this study and see how you measure up to the participants:
