We used to have a question for interviewers where I work: "Will this person raise the average?"

I used to detest it. I left no shortage of smartarse remarks about infinite limits in a finite world.

In fact nobody really liked that question and it was eventually removed in favour of variations on the core question: do you want to work with this person?

"Do half of you think you're dumber than this guy?"

It's a great question.
