While I firmly believe in seeing an applicant program, the problem with doing it ahead of time is that they'll find answers on the web, or get help from others. Otherwise this isn't too different from things I've asked people to whiteboard program.
Funny, that's exactly what I do when doing actual programming on the job when I get stuck on something!
The applicant can be expected to have to explain their code in detail. If they don't understand it they obviously copied or got help which they were not worthy of and don't get hired.
Whiteboard programming sucks.
