Money is a hell of a drug.

That's how you get the best talent. There is no secret question you can ask to find great talent.

I've interviewed persons that did very very well during the interview process, but failed miserably on a day-to-day basis.

So money is the answer? Have you never observed a well paid developer who "failed miserably on a day to day basis"?

Either that, or they really wanted a challenge.
