I had an interviewee who was answering questions quite well but kind of shrugging me off when I dug deeper. Then I asked a question I hadn't asked before and he actually complained that the question wasn't fair because he didn't get a chance to study for that question. I recommended against. The hiring manager, to my suprise, let him go "study" and come back for more questions. The whole team being on to this, we asked very different questions the second time around and he failed miserably. We all recommended against. Again to my suprise, the hiring manager decided he liked him and hired him. After a re-org and under a new manager, it took about six months IIRC to legally get rid of the guy. Nice guy - wrong fit.
