Playing HU against a maniac ?

I am talking here about HU SnG rather than the final stage of a STT or MTT.
Every now and again when playing these, I will come across a player who from the start will go all in on every hand, pre flop. I dont know why they play the game if they are doing this but thats their business.

My question is what is the minimum starting hand you would call their all in with?

It could be that they just suck at HU and are fine with taking a 40/60 or whatever it is when you eventually find a hand to call with. I know I once called an all-in with 22 heads-up in a big (for me) live multi because I knew the other guy was better than me, so I'd be happy with the coinflip.
