If I had presented the problem like this:

IF,
1=5
5=? you would be very prompted to ans. 1 without questioning legitimacy of the problem. in the original post your attention was distracted by the sequence of #'s up to 5.
It's true 1 can't =5, so neither can 5 be equal to 1. but if one were to be true so would've to be the other one.
Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of the Daybreak
~From the evil of that which He created;
~ From the evil of the darkness when it is intense;
~ from the evil of malignant witchcraft,
~And from the evil of the envier when he envies.
Quran (Al-Falaq)

if 1 '=' 5

and if nothing else were stated

then the operation '=' could represent '+ 5' or '* 5' or ...

in either case '5' would give a different value

dude, you are overwhelming the problem. the quiz is not meant to be comprehensive. The purpose of such tests is to see how quick you are at learning and if you have potential to further your skill.
Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of the Daybreak
~From the evil of that which He created;
~ From the evil of the darkness when it is intense;
~ from the evil of malignant witchcraft,
~And from the evil of the envier when he envies.
