If if he goes and get you one, tell him he’s hired. If he makes it just how you like it, pat him on the back and say “good job” raising his self-esteem and planting the seed that he could be your right hand man.
If on the other hand he preempts your test and brings you a cup of tea before the interview, screw up your face and say “well aren’t you a clever dick? Go on, get out of my office!”
I can certainly get him to explain his design as if I am a consultant - ie I think I know a lot, but actually I'm wrong about most of it.
Ask the chap how his weekend was then ask him what he is passionate about outside of work.
When i used to do interviews i would ask this sort of thing.. mind you it was entry level jobs i did but point is i wanted someone that would fit in and people could get along with and could hold a "small talk" type conversation. If you're going to be spending a significant amount of time with someone (i.e. in an office/work environment) you don't want someone with nothing to them..
"What's half of 59?"
It's a curveball from the standard questions, tests their basic maths and their ability to cope with unusual situations. 90% of people get the answer wrong, then when I ask them to try again I observe how flustered they get/don't get. A lot of people get it even more wrong the second time around.
It's not quantum physics, it's a very simple sum yet it can throw some candidates off the rest of their interview.
Though I might change it to "what's half of 59... in hexadecimal?". Hex is surprisingly useful. Or I could see if they can do basic trig in their head. Or, more usefully, convert the scale from a floorplan at A4 that should have been printed at A1...

I said 'Probably honesty'.
He said 'I don't really view honesty as a weakness'.
I said 'I don't give a f**k what you think'.
I got on OK with him so I didn't feel inclined to use any of my stock put-down answers to silly HR-type questions. He was a senior engineer. I hope not to have to talk to HR types other than to give them my NI number should I start working there.
