You'd have got that double-wrong because most manholes in NZ aren't round, nor are their covers.
NZ's sewers must be full of crushed corpses. (I always had the vague notion they were squareish, but I bet that wouldn't stop a NZ interviewer asking the question.)
I'm still not forgiving anybody for "you've tried everything you can think of to solve a problem, what do you do next?". I know the expected answer, now, but that answer fits into the "everything I can think of" category, so it's already been ruled out in the question. There is no answer to that question. Even "give up" is something I might have thought of, and if it wasn't then I couldn't even do that.
You could always point out the logical paradox and watch them start bleeding through the ears, but it wouldn't really be fair. It'd be like poking a puppy with a stick.
