What was the most interesting question?

"I somehow ended up with 2 very laid-back interviewers. They didn't really ask many questions - we just talked. I also got the quesiton "Do you know what your getting in to?" This was my first interview and it couldn't have a better introduction. Everyone was so very nice. Very minimal stress." Report Response | I was asked this question too
