I’m always mildly confused by the question. Makes me wonder if you read my resume.

Still, I ask the question in more or less the same way during interviews. How people respond is more interesting than what they respond with.

If you're interviewing with me I definitely read the resume. Not all places are the same though.

Occasional mild confusion in a good candidate is worth stumping the bad ones often. I do feel slightly bad, and I admit it's slightly rude, but it works and the interview process is what it is.

By the end of the interview, the rough start is hopefully forgotten. If you ever get this question upfront again hopefully you understand why and roll with it.
