If I could ask a C++ programmer just one technical question, this would be it. Why? Because the correct answer feels wrong and the initial answer is generally wrong. So seeing how they work through the explanation is very illustrative of not just their knowledge of C++, but their willingness to not get locked in to their initial answer.

I wouldn't say it's _the best_ question... But it should certainly lead to a discussion that reveals what the candidate knows about the space between the language and the machine and his analytical skills--which I guess is the point.
