It depends on the nature of the problem, but you are actually very solid with language skills (you know at least 4 or 5 different languages with sufficient skill that you can develop subtantial apps with them and not trip over yourself in language minutiae) it might not be a bad idea to gently twist the truth, assuming you can pass the technical tests.

Lest anyone think this is unethical, do remember that the large majority of job postings are made by people who ask the impossible (a level of experience in new languages that basically make it accesible only the language developers) or the irrelevant. Use your own criteria to determine when this makes sense.
