Methinks such an interviewee could have a field day with it.

As a couple of us have pointed out, the logic behind the answer posted in the FAQ is in error.

The interviewee could give the interviewer the FAQ answer and then explain *why* the answer in the FAQ is wrong.

It would be a good way to demonstrate that s/he doesn't take information provided at face value--testing it to see if it makes sense.

In this case, the underlying probability theory is something many of us learned in high school math, so it's not really that complicated.
