So what's your theory of the mind as to why they would ask this question.
I have two scenarios:
a) They don't want to hire you.
b) They do want to hire you, but are incompetent at interviewing.
A key realization from poker is that if you're in the a bucket your answer to this question _literally doesn't matter_, so you optimize for the case where they do want to hire you. I think that this would counsel a response which is chest-thumping by HN standards but still likely to be effective. (Think of how you would deliver the answer to that question if you were utterly indifferent to their approval, because it's so patently obvious, and a little bored before your next meeting.)
