Toughest Interview Questions?

There's a discussion at CareerJournal on "What is the toughest interview question you've ever had?"

Some of the entries:

Would you rather be a knife, fork, or spoon?

What does your desk look like at the end of the day?

[I'd be tempted to respond to the latter with, "I don't know. I've never been able to see it at the end of the day."]

My theory is the toughest ones are the basic questions such as "Why should we hire you?" Many applicants are so worried about the complicated that they fail to prepare for the simple queries.

Do you have any nominees?
