This seem to be a test more for a front end person than a back end
programmer.
A lot of this stuff I have done but I do not remember it.  I think I would
fail this test
without a book around.

I went to an interview once for a Perl programmer and they gave me a test
like
this and I said I will not pass the test without my perl book.  The guy let
me use his
perl book and I pass the test.  I do not have the commands memorized but I
do
know what I need to do to get things done.  I was offered the job and I
turned it down
because I took a another job doing more C programming

I probably failed your test but I can not afford to take a pay cut (ha, ha,
ha..)

I have been doing this for several years since I stopped programming in C
and my answers are embedded.
