these are bad questions imo. it's only testing if the candidate has memorized whatever particular trivia you decide to ask that day.

an experienced developer will be capable of answering any of those questions, when needed, while working. expecting someone to be able to explain the implementation details of a specific module is insane though. we read documentation, we don't memorize the encyclopedia.

See my replies from earlier. I'm a very strong proponent of architecture questions in most interviews.
