On: Wacky interview questions

"Candidate is contrarian for the sake of being contrarian, and avoided answering all questions."

I know you're joking, and there is value to getting the interviewer to clarify the question and confirm assumptions.

But some of your responses ("define be") are nitpicky to the point of "this guy wouldn't be any fun to work with".

"this guy wouldn't be any fun to work with".

But I always show up for the weekly lets sing happy birthday to those who had their birthday this week. And sometimes I'm the one who brings the cake. That's the definition of fun[1].

Yeah, "fun to work with" probably needs to be careful defined, but the word "work" is the most important part.

It definitely doesn't mean "fun only during non-work bullshit".
