Why answer in the form of a question?

Asked by the_state_of_wisconsin (351points) January 1st, 2011

if answering in the form of a question helps in jeopardy, then why don’t we do this more often?

(please answer in the form of a question)

could you please answer in the form of a question?

How long will it take for the mods to notice this question and send it back to you “for editing?”

wouldn’t you say there is some merit to this question though?

doesn’t it kind of seem like a silly thing to do on a game-show?

Wouldn’t it have been better asked in the Social section where it would be less likely to be moderated?

Is it because we don’t have a set of answers already hidden behind the squares?

April fools day a long time ago we did just that. For one day you provided the answer and we gave you the question.

Why do you think it doesn’t happen more often? ;-)

@HungryGuy – Where have you seen substantial moderation in the Meta section?

Is there a problem with doing this?
Don’t you think this can be an effective tool?

@iamthemob – Why didn’t you see that he posted this question in the General section at first?

@HungryGuy – Well, isn’t the answer to that obvious?

In the form of a question?

This is a fail now.

XOIIO's avatar

@Fred931 Now I’ve stolen your idea twice!

Fred931's avatar

@XOIIO Now I’m really confused!

HungryGuy's avatar

Why didn’t the last two people answer in the form of questions? Shouldn’t we flag them to be moderated? :-p

filmfann's avatar

Who do they think they are?

XOIIO's avatar

It’s a way to deflect from answering.

I know you are, but what am I?
