While I wouldn't consider that a "correct answer", I'd be willing to be patient and let them think about it for a minute or 2. I may look annoyed, or even pull out my phone and start browsing news, but it's not actually taking points away from them until it drags on too long. Of course, there's not really a way to tell in advance if you get an interviewer like me, or a jerk that insists you know everything off the top of your head.

> * I may look annoyed, or even pull out my phone and start browsing news* If I, as an interviewer, ever did that I would: a) expect the candidate to walk out, and b) get told off by pretty much everyone in the company. Deservedly. I really cannot think of a ruder way to express "you do not matter" sentiment than completely ignoring the candidate and flip through random stuff on my phone - while conducting an interview.
