I can remember a couple of times fielding very bizarre questions. The first one was a small consulting company where I had been referred by a friend of mine who worked for them occasionally as a hired gun. Let's say his name is "Fred". The first thing asked was "are you smarter than Fred?". I actually sat there in complete silence for probably close to 15 seconds without moving. I finally responded with some sort of BS answer like "how do define smart?" or something along those lines. I ended up working there for 5 years.

The second one I walked into a conference room with about a dozen people seated around a conference table. There were no empty seats so I stood at the head of the table. They asked my name, didn't introduce themselves and one of the guys asked me what my favorite movie was. I was kind of in shock but very quickly responded "Princess Bride". It took no time and the guy was grinning from ear to ear. He told me that was his favorite also, this felt like a complete pile of stink at this point. I asked him what his favorite scene was to see if he full of it. He responded that the wedding was his favorite part and started speaking it "mawwiage is wut bwings us here today...". At this point I was dying. I managed to pull it together and explained that my now father in law recited that entire speech at my rehearsal dinner before I married his daughter. This was quite entertaining and derailed the entire interview. I was given a seat and we sat around laughing for an hour never discussing anything real at all. I was then told this was the first interview just to see if I would fit in with the team. It turned out it was the management team and none of the technical people (which I did not fit well with at all on the follow up interview). All in all it seemed like a complete waste of everyone's time.
