best comebacks

what are the best comebacks you've ever seen from an analyst to an associate/VP/MD?

so i bought every book i can find about brain teaser and have practiced over them. so when i go into the interview and is asked about the brainteaser that i've encountered before, should i be honest or use that to my advantage.

if i do use it to my advantage, how should i pretend that i don't know it, meaning not to be too obvious that i know the answer.
