As I recall, the test had some medium depth questions on SQL, unix shell commands, programming, architecture, and more, and the entire test was timed at 20 minutes iirc.
In hindsight, it was actually a pretty good quiz for judging if a candidate knew a good bit about many different areas of development, architecture, and sysadmin.
I know I aced the test not because they told me I did, but because I knew the answers to the questions.
Perhaps my enjoyment of the quiz and the possibility of having an interviewer role set me up for greater disappointment that the whole thing turned out to be (or seem to be) a sham.
