I'd rather the person say, "I don't know" than to try. I'm a network engineer - and when you don't know, you best just say so. You can always include a, "but I could find out" or "I don't claim to know everything but what of my characteristics is my ability to learn new methods..." I have to agree with Joe.

Say for example this popular question to throw people off, "If you had to guess, how many barrel's of oil does the US import everyday?" You wouldn't say, "I don't know". You would think it through, even describe how you came to your estimate. This would show you are creative and can think on your feet rather than just "I don't know." @Joe

Make something up!" That's nonsense! If you don't know the answer, say so. As I hiring manager, I don't expect you to have all the answers anyway. Making something up will almost certainly make you look foolish. ““I don’t know” is probably the worst thing to say. Make something up!”
