The hoops are invisible in this case.

It's a matter of putting on a show for the interviewer. But we don't know what kind of show. A show where we make assumptions about things? or ask questions? A show where we try to get as 'real-world' an answer as possible? or one where we assume things to make our lives easier? Why not just assume it's a toy bus and nothing can fit in it? Is that a clever and funny time-saving technique, or am I mocking the interviewer?

But yeah, the candidate has to do what he has to do if he needs a job. I think that's what you're saying anyway.
