Do you ask questions you know the answer to?

No. Do you? :^>

The only time I’d ask a question I knew the answer to would be when I’m tutoring someone. I don’t do that here. Cheers!

I don’t have the stomach or the need for self-aggrandizement or glory so I refrain from asking questions that I already know the answers to. I find it much more satisfying to get informed answers and opinions from people on Fluther. If the opportunity presents itself to join the discussion and I can offer input of my own that might be meaningful and/or helpful, I’m comfortable with doing that though.

No, but I do ask opinion questions. It helps refine my own, from time to time… sometimes completely changing it, too!

I have occasionally given brain teasers. I think of it as sharing something that I enjoy.

No but then again I barely ask questions here to begin with.

Most of the questions I ask are opinion questions. I usually know my opinion on the matter and am interested in learning the opinions of others.

No. See augustlan’s response above. I may ask others’ input on something i have some ideas about, but it is for the purpose of gathering information not having a bully pulpit.

Yea, I have, but those questions never end up like you think they will. So after they’re done going on their tangent ride I usually didn’t know the answer to the new question.

lol

Sure, it’s a good way to confirm it amongst other replies & to test your knowledge against another’s which may in turn lead you to not really having known the answer to a question that you had originally thought that you had known the answer to. It’s not common that I would do such a thing however.

Yes Sometimes to know the opinion of others.

yes. to catch a person in a lie when they dont think I know the answer or truth. Then I can have an idea of what their actions are when they lie:)
