When I ask recruits this question, the only answer I like is "yes" because I look for attitude.
Even a "yes, but" is acceptable because I know that they will have to learn on the job.
The follow up question is then an open-ended conversation about how they might begin to better understand the problem or research the solution.
If I get a flat "no, I can't" then I'm pretty sure I don't want that person on my team.
I hire learners and thinkers, not automatons.
