This is a question Job Interview Disasters

The boss showed me the shop floor, complete with loose floor tiles, out-of-date equipment and prospective colleagues eyeing me like a raw steak. "Christ, what a craphole", I said. I think that's the moment I blew it. Tell us how you didn't get the job.

I do side with you, but:
What would you have answered to a quick one-line question in software quiz?
I agree you may have had a lucky escape in not having to work for or with that manager but just because somebody is asking questions which will be marked afterwards doesn't mean the questions aren't valid.
They can't not ask you about CSS, for example, because your presentation was using it both because somebody else could have made your presentation for you and because the interviewer can show no preferential treatment lest they leave themselves open to accusations of not being impartial.
