Yes of course it's impossible to answer some of them (Most of them in my case) because they are covered by an area of expertise unfamiliar to most of us.Questions about computer setups,facebook accounts,twitter & all of that are way out of my league so it's better to leave them alone.

I actually know little about computers and how to fix them. I just toss the question into my search engine and get the answer that way. Takes all of 15-30 seconds to find and post the answer.

Colleen

Well I'm not computer stupid by any means but the real techy stuff can be found on the internet.

Yes.  That's why there are 150 of us active ones instead of just 5 answering these questions.  I must admit I go for the entertaining ones first.

I agree Zorro, distances don't mean much to me as I generally don't even live in that country, others I see have so many answers I often don't worry, and maths is definitely not my forte

Colleen

Gee for all the distance ones I answer, I must confuse you as to where I actually live ;)

Some of the questions I can't even think of a smart aleck answer to, I leave them alone. Colleen once told me "Google is your friend" so I've gotten braver and somewhat lazy............

I ask questions on akaQA because I know and trust the people who will respond.

They are not related to me so my questions won’t cause a family crisis.

The respondents are not exactly “friends” A friend would be able to give you only one type of answer. When I ask a question, I like to have a “panel of experts”  That’s what I get here.  That’s what everybody gets here.

I thought that was why akaQA existed.

Colleen

It's one of the reasons.

There are so many questions I'm not knowledgeable enough to answer, because they call for facts I don't have. Sometimes I'll go find the information, and have learned how to search better.   Some questions I'm not interested in answering, so I don't even go to those categories, but lately, I've been going out of my comfort zone. It's going to be interesting and educational.
I like the questions that are open-ended, calling for opinions, or asking for advice.  I'll readily admit mine isn't the best, but I appreciate akaQA because I CAN express an opinion. Being able to help someone is another BIG plus (and I hope sometimes I do).
Those time and distance questions, "where's the tobacco shop" kinds of questions are definitely "out of place" with what the general populace of akaQA look for, that's for sure. Many people enjoy answering questions that are about their own likes and dislikes. Those are fun.

Most of the question are unintelligible and almost impossible to answer. Even some of the maths questions are the same.

I like to write answers that are the best I can. There are many questions that don’t interest me so I don’t bother with them.  Human relations and philosophy has been my most dominate interest. It seems to make everything else seem shallow and mundane in my mind. There is nothing more important to me than friends…like you.  

Sometimes complicated answers have me stopping for a moment to formulate a logical sequence for someone to follow in regards to directions.

If l can answer the question l will, if i can't then i will wait til someone has given what i consider a correct or helpful answer then i will feel free to try and inject some humour

I try my best on some answers, if I understand what they mean... and other just entertainment reason or joking ect. Although there are question unanswerable, so we try making one up, just too please the person.

Colleen

I answer 100 or more questions per day. Out of those answers I might get 5 thumbs ups or thank yous from the people posting the questions. The rest come from the members here who understand and know about the TU's and TY's. ;)

I skip computer questinons. Dont know much about computers. I will however answer questions that interest me.Some questions are impossioble to answer, because they dont make sense.

i`m the same,answer when possible and then take the piss.

The questions i am most amazed by are the ones dealing with homework. Please help me I'm only 10.  What is 100,000,000 ?When I went to school, a teacher rarely asked a question without providing  a source for the answer! Is this all different now? Telling someone these answers seem to defeat the purpose of education.

Try this one...

What's the distance between point c and line d-f? :( :( :(

Yes, nearly impossible to answer some of them.   But then again some of my answers are hard or impossible to understand.  

Besides being able to use goggle ,this is about life experience and understanding how thing work .How cities are organised and the structure of things . Where is the first step and how to begin ? I dont deal with lazy and try to answer the way I would wish my questions to be answered ,fairly and to the point . Some times you just dont know something and thats the way it is . LIFE !!!!

Dont worry, no one can answer every question,

If a question isnt written well or lacks information I ask the questioner to clarify.

Colleen

and it's just that simple.
