I follow it up until the upfront and candid and then not telling people they screwed up the answer. Why not say horseshit to their face? Just because someone has been coached on stupid HR questions doesn't mean you don't give them a chance to work through it and give you a real answer. If your going to play games and interview outside the box then let them know the rules of the game. In my opinion.

To be clear, I actually do call horseshit to their face. I have said to several candidates "no, but REALLY what would the risk be," and explain why I ask this question, exactly as I do in my post.

Some people just won't adjust their answers, no matter what.

And now I'm making a blog post about it, so if you're interviewing with me, you can just google me and know that I'm going to ask you this.

fair enough if you can't prep for an interview(check your blog) and/or adjust to a potential bosses style(when they explain it to you) probably not a good fit.
