What about "Please enter the {first,second,third} number from the 
following sentence.  Here are the numbers: 123 456 789." ?

I mean, I would be surprised if they caught the ordinal references, and 
picked the correct number (and not, say the third word).

Doesn't require PIL, or really much of anything beyond core Python.
