What's the craziest question you've ever been asked during a job interview?

You're nervous. You want to make a good impression. Then the interviewer asks you something that just throws you for a loop. Tell us about the strangest question you've ever heard during a job interview!

Why are manhole covers round?

This was at a big investment firm interview. Some people have too much time on their hands!

Why are manhole covers round?

Answer for next time: It's the only shape that cannot go to the bottom passing through the hole, as it could be as if it were square, eliptical, rectangular, etc..

That's what I said too :-)

I know now that this question is asked a lot (or it used to be) -- but I still don't have much patience for these types of questions!
