I would and I actually did refuse to answer already. I'd say that I know it and to ask me something more relevant.
In the same way I'd refuse if they'd begin asking me "how much is 10 divided by 2" or something.
"Oh but you can answer it in 2 min". Don't devalue your time. I bet they can ask something more relevant. I'm happy to solve a different coding exercise or test.
