Well of course Pinkie isn't going to ask a question that Trixie can't answer. That wouldn't be very nice at all!
And if Trixie were a bit smarter and a lot less cocky, she'd be pretty worried right now. Pinkie asking such a question suggests that Trixie has already failed the real test, and this is just meant to let her think she's passed.
Now I'm thinking that the crystal cage bit was a sort of backup test - even if Twi screwed up the initial meeting due to fatigue and stress, there's no way the real Twilight Sparkle could resist correcting such an elementary error.

Given that Twilight's signature spell is teleportation, I think that's a pretty accurate assessment.
