How about this?

Interviewer: Do you know how to use ToolXtraCoolnessPro2002?

Liar: Yes

Interviewer: Would you tell me something about how you would use the coolness factor in your work?

I've had this sort of question asked of me. I was always glad I had told the truth.

Hmmm... does it count if an interviewer asks "Do you know how to use
ToolXtraCoolnessPro2002?", you lie and say "yes," and then learn it fast
before the job actually starts?

Not that I've done this... I've just heard of it happening... ;-)
