Every other question, a follow up to the substantive quotation, asked you to evaluate how sure you were in the previous answer.
So a question might be a little theory or short answer or maybe asked to write code to do a simple bloom filter. The next question asked how sure you were it had no bugs or would work if all values were 4 character strings.
Probably the second toughest interview I ever went on. But I found the idea fascinating. The idea was for the quiz to test your ability to work under pressure and be able to evaluate risks in your code.
