I don’t see what information people can glean from those trick questions. Any time I’ve interviewed people I’ve made it a point to emphasize that none of my questions are trick questions and if anything is unclear, they should ask clarifying questions. The result? Interviewees are more comfortable and are far more honest about what they know, what they don’t know, and you get to see a glimpse of what they’re really like.

"Basically, I will ask you questions, and hopefully you will give me answers. It is fine to say 'I do not know'. It is fine to guess, but if you do, I would prefer that you tell me it is a guess. If you want any clarification, I will try to provide it. If you don't recall the exact signature of a library function, ask me. I will note down what I said and not hold incorrect nformation I give against you. Any questions before we start?"
