I think if they were testing my ability to work through misunderstandings in requirements, they would have been decently impressed that I got from "system for selling concert tickets" to "system for giving out random integers" in half an hour. But they weren't impressed, they were irritated.

Edit: Also I don't think a normal product requirements discovery process involves figuring out that you're actually being asked to solve a different problem in a vastly different domain. You shouldn't ask someone to build Netflix while thinking "let's see how long it takes them to realize I meant Twitter."
