Nope. And there are also some sort-of-odd questions in there that I
don't understand. The whole thing wants an edit, I think.

Yup. That's one thing I like about it; it ensures that you have
reasonably broad knowledge if you go up a level or two.

Actually, I think that particular row could go further; perhaps give
a bonus for level 4 if the candidate understands Hindley-Milner type
systems and/or monads, and add a level 5 for having implemented an HM
type system, with bonus points for one with GADTs and dependent types
and so on.
