On the other hand, these are all pretty superficial and elementary questions. I have never been a Linux admin and I still knew about 2/3 of them, or at least could have fumbled through them (e.g. 3 timestamps).



They're supposed to be FizzBuzz questions.


Just curious, what are some questions asked beyond the point where we've asked FizzBuzz questions?


Debug a possible situation or even something that happened in the past. Take for example these question from ServerFault: "DNAT:ed packets disappearing"* [1] and "Openvpn, forwarding slow since reboot" [2].

*Sorry for the self promotion, but I don't have any better examples right now.
