Essentially making this an even more telling interview question when someone is unable to answer it. Thanks!

If you gave this amount of detail during an interview, you would have one frustrated interviewer and not much time for anything else.

"What happens.... and give as much detail as you can" is how I phrase it. If the candidate tried to give this much detail, I'd stop them, congratulate them on their ability to Google, put a positive mark next to that and move on. Or not, as I've detected they're effectively plagiarising someone else's work. Depends on how far they go with it I suppose. It could go either way!

That said, if I let them completely hijack the interview, I'm failing as an interviewer. They're also failing as an interviewer, if they're actually willing to waste the entire time answering the question in full in that way, rather than recognising that the interview process is a two way street.

Either way, all this does is change the range of acceptable answers. Being aware this information has been collected in such a useful way is the important part. So again, Thanks!
