I agree... I've never asked such trivial questions as to how many columns a table can hold for the very reasons that Gus stated. My point was meant to explain simply that wrote memorization of sometimes incorrect "trivial facts" are not sufficient to pass an interview unless the interviewer is also clueless.
On the other hand ... if anyone ever publishes "Trivial Pursuit, DBA Edition", they could come in very handy indeed!
