Really? Because the times I've tried to "seriously" answer such questions it became apparent the person asking was looking for "THE" answer. In fact I was halfway into the effect of having seat belts included when the interviewer started gently feeding me "the" answer they were looking for. Why? Because they felt that there really was a "right" answer that folks could agree upon. Not surprisingly, said company folded two years later as I gather their client didn't agree...

Ah, in that case, you're quite right to walk away! It's just meant to see if someone can 'put their arms around a problem', a rough way of weeding out people who can't make a move until they have every answer, a blunt tool.

Sounds like you used it appropriately as a blunt tool to weed out the company :)
