I think that's a good idea but I don't know if it would work. Some of these questions would take a TON of work to actually complete. I think people are answering them in the way they would answer it in an interview.

One of the questions is 'Design a Twitter-like social network web application'. This is obviously not a small or quick project. I'm guessing Google asks this in the hopes of getting a hand-wavy answer and analyzing you based on that. I'm not saying your idea shouldn't happen (it would make an interesting site) but I don't know that it would work for all the questions.
