What was the most interesting question?

"There were a lot of situational questions. One that stands out was something like this: you just took a test.

What would you do about this?" Report Response

What was the most difficult question?

"Probably the one I just mentioned. Just be honest with the interviewer...they will read through bs answers. Another difficult question was the classic opener "Tell me about yourself".
