Usually it was because of one of 3 reason...they were nervous, they wanted to try and show off at how much SQL they knew or they just didn't know. I gave my previous boss (IT director that didnt know anything about SQL) the same solution you came up with in case they wanted to use that question for future interviews. I love that question because it really does separate the good candidates from the less than desirable ones.
