I once applied for a company here in São Paulo where after the technical interview (no whiteboard) I talked on-site with the CTO and he passively-agressively asked a bunch of random questions and tried very hard to be a dick about it ("oh, you consider yourself a good self-learner? French? I bet you couldn't read some news in French if I opened any here right now. JUST KIDDING")

At the end of this 40 minute nightmare I had a bizarre homework to do at home that involved writing a list of uses to a paperclip.

They took a month to send me an email saying I wasn't accepted.

IMO you should have ended the interview the moment you detected that you were being treated poorly. Let alone not doing the homework.
