I'm looking for hard philosophical questions to give to people to gauge their skill at philosophy.
So far, I've been presenting people with Newcomb's problem and the Sleeping Beauty problem. I've also been presenting them with contrarian opinions and asking them to evaluate them, and I have a higher opinion of them if they avoid just icking away from the subject.
There's another argument like chinese room, about giant archive of answers to all possible questions. Works by severely under-imagining size of the archive, too.

What other problems should I use?
