I am a Web Ninja

I doubt I'll be applying for a job in Amsterdam anytime soon, but I thought I'd see if I could work my way through this test anyway. It doesn't really involve any sort of real web development prowess, really, but it does require some reasonable know-how with Firebug (one of my most favorite tools ever).
The test took me about five minutes (four of which was spent on number three), the last minute was spent on the other questions. That's pretty decent in my mind, but who knows how well other people did?
I really like this style of interviewing though, and I think more companies should use it to weed out the riffraff. It does require a lot of creativity on the design end but, I'd imagine, reduces man hours (spent interviewing and processing) like crazy. If I ever hire more developers, I plan to come up with a puzzle test like this.
