In all fairness, what are you trying to evaluate, his experience or specific tasks oriented around the knowledge he should have retained through his CCIE journey? In my opinion, your question is quite vague and does not assess his CCIE background. If you want to test his CCIE prowess ask him how he might secure the environment so no devices can talk to each other but the router interface and you don't use ACL's. As you know, that is what the CCIE tests for, how to accomplish task-a,b and c given requirements and restrictions x,y, and z. In y opinion I would re-evaluate the interview questions.

Subject: CCIE True Interview Story
I interviewed this CCIE from Saudi. He just became one this september and his
name is Ali. From basic switching and routing questions, he did very poorly in
his answers.The one that really stumped I and my manager was the following
question.Q. Ali you have been assigned a ticket to install a Cisco router for
Internet connection. The customer site have 10 users, with a 24 port hub
installed.The network is operating well with no errors. After you complet
your WAN router install, what recommendation can you make to the customer
concerning their HUB.A. I will ask them to rplace it with a switchQ. Ali what
is your reason for this recommendation.Ali could not come up with one. Here I
am a dual CCIE sitting with my boss, I felt my number shrink in
embarassment.B What is going on here, are guys out there buying their CCIE? If
they are at least read the study guides.B B
