Nope, and nope. I've had tons of such questions during university in various courses, so what? Are they supposed to to babysit you and handle you only exact stuff they went over and over, to not upset some fragile minds? Such stuff is part of educational life. They expected to synthesize the knowledge out of other, related knowledge that was very directly covered, and use a bit of if-this-then-that. All in trivial manner if you actually grokked the subject well enough. I failed some, did well on others, felt a bit of unfairness emotions completely understandable for that young mind which just wanted to do the test and move on. But when looking back, they were good questions, testing my actual skills in topic I was studying.
