Might have been more challenging if it was written as
b = a+++(--a*++a)

Question fail. This company is hiring "cross-browser" developers, but
they can't even produce an unambiguous screening test...
On the other hand, if you get the job, you'll be automatically promoted
to local guru :)

Do you mean you only need to be smart enough to run the above code
step by step in firebug and deduct whats happening?

Might that not be the point of that question; that the answer should
include the fact that different environments (and, in broad terms,
which) will result in different values. Possibly making the other two
questions no more than camouflage to conceal the trap here.
