Trick questions examine whether students will gamble their grade by challenging your authority, not whether they know the real answers.

It wasn’t worth much, and I primed them for it in the class prior. I agree with you though, that interview question sucks.

Kudos to you for the priming, but less risky would be to make it open-ended: "CTO says closed, CSO says open, what do you say?"
-
It's been years now but I'm fairly certain I phrased it open-ended, e.g., "what do you think matters more than open or closed?"

Sorry for jumping in on your thread. I just noted a distant similarly in your OP and wanted to have a laugh!

It's all good, jump in anytime!
