During an interview, we ask interesting questions to get to know the person better. Here are some great answers to these questions.
Can you sell us a rotten apple ?
A colleague and I were hiring a team of salespeople, and we decided to ask them to sell us a rotten apple.

And you can plant the seeds in your backyard.” After resolving some honesty concerns, that particular candidate ended up being the best salesperson I ever hired.(From Book The Hidden potential)
