I got asked a question from the prof on my committee that not only taught the class when I took it as an undergrad, but was currently teaching it AND I was a TA for the lab. It was the simplest of chemistry questions, and it completely tripped me up as it really had nothing to do with my thesis. It was just a basic chemistry question designed to remind me that it's more important to know the foundation of your knowledge rather than your specific application of the knowledge.
To makes things worse it was the first question!
