    I had a strange interview back in the Novell 3.11 days where a guy kept asking me questions about digging into a particular problem scenario. As I'd answer with things to check or look at, he'd provide the results and explain what didn't work and we'd go on. I asked questions, and some he answered, some he couldn't.

    Eventually I tried something that made him stop. He told me they'd had this problem and couldn't solve it, going through almost everything I'd done until that last thing. Was an interesting experience.

    So they did this: http://dilbert.com/strips/comic/2006-05-06/[/url]

    to you?

    Almost. They'd worked around the issue, but it always bugged the guy, so he kept the scenario as an interview question.
