Somehow I found this very clever, and more appropriate than asking people to napkin-guess how many piano tuners are in NY. I'd expect most candidates kind of panicked, a few reacted superbly, and a few became assholes. This would be a very way to both separate the most problematic people, and find potential team leaders. Of course they could have accepted the assholes and invested ample time and resources to nurture their emotional intelligence, but they would have resorted to that only if they couldn't find enough candidates.
