I'm not so sure it's a bad interview question. Or rather, perhaps it's only bad if you, as the interviewer, have a specific answer in mind.
We used it once with the caveat that "there's no right answer, we don't really know every step either, lets see what happens". We collaborated with them, it was great, and by the end of the conversation were pretty certain we wanted to keep the conversation going by hiring them.

Set your expectations accordingly, I suppose.
