I stumbled on this site not long ago and for the most part I'm impressed with what this site accomplishes, but I have noticed one HUGE side effect.
Why do people insist on answering questions (almost verbatim) that have already been answered? Do I really need to know 12 times that the X + 2 = 3 so X = 1? Why isn't this SPAM? Do they not notice it has already been answered? I think the reason they answer it is because it makes them, somehow, feel smarter then they actually are? Statistically we konw this isn't true, so stop doing it.
You don't have to look far to see what I'm talking about. And while I'll grant you that sometimes people are responding at the same time, if you notice the time stamps you'll notice this isn't quite true. So, can someone explain this phenomenon to me????
And just to make you feel smart, why don't you answer this riddle.
8, 91, 27, 64, 73... what number comes next ( it's a 2 step elddir)
