Strange ...
Happened to me during a North American interview some time ago ...
CAPT: So, do you like beer ? Would you drink a beer on an overnight ?
ME: ( Thinking what do I say to this one ) ... Of course I like a beer or two. As long as there's plenty of time on the overnight.
CAPT #2: Don't worry about him, he just wants to know if someone will go out drinking with him.
Later, CC

I remember getting asked once, "If you were a tree, what kind of tree would you be?"

Examiner ran through a loss of all hydraulics on a EMB-145. You go through all the checklists, talk him through the approach, long final, speeds, etc. Then he asks what would you do on short final, then on touchdown; no brakes, no reversers; aerodynamic braking. He was driving at shutting the engines down at touchdown, which is of course not in the checklist.
