This question says more about the interviewer than it does about the interviewee. I'd say that kind of depends. If the candidate were really good at thinking on his feet, I'd imagine you might get some really interesting/funny/or even possibly insightful answers.

For me that would be, “Trustee, Model Prisoner, 5 Years, Sing-Sing Correctional Facility, Ossining, NY.”
Only one man on earth puts that in his resume, and that’s me!

More on the holes. This afternoon while taking a walk I saw more than a dozen manhole covers that were rectangular and square. What was under them, I don’t know, but they were large enough for a man to fit through the holes.
So, the answers that manhole covers must be round so that they won’t fall in the round holes and kill the workers in them, are patently false, because the assumption of the question is false. The question should then be: why are some manholes square and rectangular?

My response to the question would simply have been "They're not." The question shows a lack of imagination, creativity, and originality. It is the interviewer's attempt to force the interviewee to be insightful, while he himself is anything but. Bear in mind that any interview works two ways: I'm interviewing you as much as you're interviewing me.
I'd ask the classic: "What is the sound of one hand clapping?" Anyone who took one hand and slapped the fingers to the palm would immediately be disqualified as an idiot who doesn't understand the subtleties implicit in the question.

Didnt Chelsea Clinton end up with a sweet gig at McKinsey right out of college? I wonder whether she was put through the standard interview process? McKinsey's process? Or her (ostensible) daddy's?

The sound of one hand clapping?
