This is a senior consultant answer,
Think these are about your ability to imrpov, BS, and talk.
Out of the box questions. They’ve been around for decades. I’ve had “why are man hole covers round” “how many gas stations are in the US” and many others over the years. The idea is to get you to think outside the box and see how your reasoning skills are. They were super popular in tech interviews.
Only times I have ever been asked questions like those were for entry level positions that while I disliked the work, did help me build experience. I feel like it is more of a gap fill in case someone doesn’t have much experience or they are trying to gauge a candidate’s ability to think and respond on the fly with customers.
I’ve been asked which was the last book I have read? IMO that is irrelevant for the job position but at that time 50 Shades of Gray trilogy books had just come out so my response was “I’m not sure it would be appropriate to discuss the book but I’ll just tell you it’s a new release and it’s a trilogy” and he got beat red (embarrassed). lol. I did get the job offer but I rejected it. I still think that book question did not belong in an interview for the job I was applying for.. not everyone reads books so what if I just had said I didn’t read books would he had not hired me? I took another job offer that paid better and that asked relevant questions during an interview
If they ask me that, I don’t wanna work there
