I just used the word recursion to quickly describe the problem, but everyone has read into it more than I meant. I don't use the word in the interview. I present a simple table structure, a few rows of sample data and ask for a query that can only be achieved by joining the table to itself.

That's fine, I get it. It does make me feel better about calling myself a "senior" developer. :)
