Did you check the link about the Winograd schema challenge? The questions test common sense reasoning, and are very easy for humans to answer. An example:

The trophy doesn't fit into the brown suitcase because it's too large. What is too large? A: The trophy B: The suitcase




Coding a specific solution to questions in exactly that format is not inherently difficult.

If you keep writing specific solutions to this class of questions it's eventually had to come up with a simple question that's still unknown.

Further you can't get around that by making ever more complex questions because humans will eventually start messing them up.
