The thing is, I think you could do this in 3 hours. Not sure what
they're trying to get at in the interview process. But given some RoR
scaffolding magic, the right gems and some JQuery plugins for the
Admin tables, I think you could do this all with very little coding.

Maybe they're trying to see if the candidate has enough experience to
be able to pick those pieces that make this easy?

Not saying the job screening technique isn't rubbish, just speculating
on the fact that RoR and JQuery plugins have made some of this
standard web dev really easy.
