So, you've never had to troubleshoot anything on the job?
If employed correctly (ie, not pulled from a book, and if the
interviewer is intelligent enough to have come up with it themselves),
they're a good general intelligence test.
There's a lot you can find out about potential employees by asking
non-job-related questions.

Every job I've ever had (and every job
I've ever run, for that
matter) occasionally involved some gratuitous hoop-jumping. If you're
going to get pissy about that and I'm responsible for your performance,
that's something I'd like to find out during the interview.
If the job consisted of solving brain teasers all day, you might have
a point.
