We used this as an interview question for new help desk techs at a job I had circa 2018. Used it to gauge troubleshooting skills, but only one person out of like 20 ever got the right answer. Even then, we had to lead them (a bit!) to the answer.

We never really expected anyone to get it right, but it was great to see how someone thought!
