What? No. Literally showed they understood the joke by putting it in other words.
The joke is that the answer could either mean the literal answers to the question, or that the person answering literally doesn’t know the answers and doesn’t care about any of it.
It’s a double entendre.
By missing this aspect and simply answering the question literally, the joke ceases to be.
This isn't Jokes, it's Dad Jokes, they knew what they were doing
