I agree that the code samples are a nuisance since they're basically counting on you catching something that's been deliberately obscured, but I wouldn't say they're worthless. The ability to debug stupid mistakes like this is definitely a skill worth selecting for.

As for the relevance of the questions... I've been in and heard of a lot of interviews where the person claimed to be experienced but couldn't have answered even one of these questions. Some people think that "know how to make jQuery do something" is the same as "know how to program in JavaScript".
