That's a good point and may well have been intentional in the assignment. 
Since it's just a test assignment, I probably would make the assumption, 
put in a comment, and bring it up at the interview. But since the text of 
the web site says that the applicant should ask questions if he has any 
(or something to that effect), I probably would *not* get hired.

Oh well... Good thing I've already got a decent job for now...
