There is a reason behind the question but the first time I heard it it was weird.

  • how many gas stations exist in the USA

Alternative question with the same idea is

  • how many cooking oil your country produces.

Both questions just care about how you think and how fast you will give estimation that you have 0 idea about.

Another weird one, kinda HR question was:

  • Why road shafts oval, what is the point (many correct answers can be given here)

One similar to the first two I have heard from friends is

  • What is the total amount of windows in all office buildings in NY?
