Often times the point of “stupid” questions is to see your reaction, watch the wheels turn, see how honest you are. I work in software QA, when I’m interviewing candidates they need to be able to be brutally honest but non-confrontational. Dumb questions can be good for that.
yeah I understood that- thats why I figured there really was no right or wrong answer, they just want to watch you try answer it. So I figured I would at least try to make them laugh. Not only can I wrote good software but I am FUNNY too :)
