more than that, it tests your eyesight... the font they use is so small that =
looks like a fat -

and some of the questions are nonsense.

For example:

..Question 13 of 27 Time elapsed: Time remaining:
..
..What is the output of the following C code fragment?
..
..#include <stdio.h>
..
..main()
..{
.. int value1 = 14, value2 = 5;
..
.. printf("The value %d divided by %d is %d\n", value1, value2, value1
../ value2);
.. printf("The value %d divided by %d is %f\n", value1, value2, value1 /
..value2);
..}
..
.. A The value 14 divided by 5 is 2
.. The value 14 divided by 5 is 3.000000
..
.. B The value 14 divided by 5 is 2
.. The value 14 divided by 5 is 2.800000
..
.. C The value 14 divided by 5 is 3
.. The value 14 divided by 5 is 2.800000
..
.. D The value 14 divided by 5 is 2
.. The value 14 divided by 5 is 2.000000
..
.. E The value 14 divided by 5 is 3
.. The value 14 divided by 5 is 3.000000
..
.. Select one of the answers.

the correct answer is that it invokes undefined behavior

here's what I get from running that code:

The value 14 divided by 5 is 2
The value 14 divided by 5 is -1.289608
