This actually happened in an IIM Ahmedabad Interview...
Courtesy Prof. Madhukar Shukla, XLRI Jamshedpur: got this from an IIMB prof:

This is a real episode which happened during the interview rounds of IIM for the class of 2004.

Interviewer said, "I shall either ask you ten easy questions or one really difficult question. Think well before you make up your mind! "

The candidate thought for a while and said, "My choice is one really difficult question."

" Well, good luck to you, you have made your own choice!", said the interviewer, "Here is your question: What comes first, Day or Night? "

The boy was jolted into reality as his admission depended on the correctness of the answer to that one question. He thought for a while and said, "It's DAY sir!"

"How?", the interviewer asked.

"Sorry sir, you promised me that you will not ask me a SECOND difficult question!"

He was selected for IIM!
