STUPID INTERVIEW QUESTIONS?

There seems to be a contest among HR folks as to who can ask the most innovative interview questions. Some of them pop up over and over again. Others appear to be a stretch to ask, let alone answer. Business Week recently offered its own commentary on what are stupid interview questions. My only question is this: If you really want the job, can you afford to NOT answer the question just because you see it as stupid?

The craziest question i have ever been asked was "how many ping pong balls can fit into a car? I belive the best response is to ask another question regarding the size and/or dimensions of the car. Or the second best is just to give an off the cuff response with a random number.
