I agree with smartin.
But why didn't you ask them what it should be? An interview should never be one-way traffic! If they ask you something you don't know (which is almost inevitable), you should ask them what they mean, and what they think should be the answer.
That shows them you are eager to learn too, and maybe you'll get into a discussion in which you can show them why you don't agree with them, or at least show them you're able to think things through.

Yep.
Definitely discuss the question with them. When they tell you what the "right" answer is, start asking them about other parameters and ask why they aren't important. If I'm in an interview, regardless of which side I'm on, I want a dialog, a discussion, which is an amazing way to find out someones oracle knowledge and experience.
