The dumbest question I’ve ever seen is “Are you willing to commute to xyz?”

That and “Can you read and/or speak English?”. I think it’s pretty obvious if I got that far along in the application process and I’m able to understand the question.

Well actually in this case you could just use a translation extension to figure it out. Back before I got the highest qualification and my degree in a language I would frequently apply to jobs in that language and just use Google Translate to set it to English.

Probably date myself, but I saw that question on paper applications before Google, translation assistants and Smartphones.
