What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Question regarding a project I did for a professor that he mentioned in a letter of recommendation to me, was not mentioned anywhere else in my application. Sort of threw me off! Fortunately I had recently reread the paper I wrote on it because it had a lot of fun facts about current healthcare stats in it.
