Just asked this to a colleague, who replied as follows.

'A salmon, so that I could leap up high above everyone else'.

F**king wanker!

Worst I've had... "What is the angle between clock hands at 10 to 2... Talk me through your thinking all the way... If you stop talking I'll assume you've stopped thinking"


Oh, and I'd be a clown fish... a little bit different, a little unusual, but nice to look at.

Assuming that you were going for a job that requires some logic and mathematical ability then that actually sounds like a pretty good question. I probably wouldn't appreciate it bweing thrown at me mid interview though!

I guess this goes some way towards explaining why G4S made such a SHAMBLES of the Olympics.

It's the "Talk me through your thinking all the way... If you stop talking I'll assume you've stopped thinking" bit that sounds crap.

Absolutely. People think in different ways, and just because they can't rattle off some ad-lib mumbo-jumbo does not disqualify them for a job. If someone asked me that, I'd probably walk out thinking he was a pratt and I wouldn't want to work for him anyway. I get enough technical questions during interviews, I don't need bollox like that as well.
