I did horribly. I actually did better just guessing at random in some sections. On the other hand, I can't ever think of a time in 19 years of coding HTML where I ever structured anything like the code examples in the quiz.

Reminds me of an interview I had well over a decade ago. It was a pretty high-flying investment bank, that was over 80% PhDs.
They were a C++ shop and asked me a particularly gnarly C++ question in the interview.
I didn't know the answer. In fact, I had no idea. I was pretty green & it was a pretty scary high-performing environment. So I answered how & why I'd avoid it entirely. Plus what I'd do if I actually encountered it in the wild.
The interviewer told me at the end - "Plenty of other interviewees have answered that question, but you're the only one who got it right."
That's just an anecdote really, but it's been borne out in my experience too. Knowing what you don't know is sometimes very useful...
Thanks for sharing that story. It was very instructive.
I managed OK till the js part, and got bored (I suck at js anyway)
