Erm, this is a pretty obvious "no" actually. It'll be rude if they just say "I'm sorry, you FAILED"

lol i can understand your frustration. It's at least better than a company i interviewed when I was a fresh grad and he told me "If you don't know mysql, you're not going to be a software engineer" and i was like F ... u .... ... .
