I posted a simple question yesterday, that didn't have a simple answer - well I asked for a single number - there were only two possibilities, and everyone answered wrong.
The correct answer was "2" but everyone posted the answer as "3" which was wrong.
Just a little while ago, I posted a hint in the details of that question.
Which should be obvious if you bothered to read the details.
But peeps are in such a rush, they don't read the details.
By the way, even the level 5's failed to answer correctly - before I posted the Hint. I'll be back in a couple hours to see if anyone bothered to read the hints.
Yes, this is one set of 10 points, you peeps really gotta work for to get.
I think I will start asking more trick questions in the future, for the sake of provoking and stimulating intelligence where it needs to be - you're welcome to help "shake the trees, to see what falls out" and ask some trick questions too.

People answer quickly here because they get two points for answers, no mater whether they're quick or slow. People answer quickly in general because they are overconfident about their opinions and intellect, etc. (p.s.: I'll ask you a "trick question" soon.)

Some people are so quick to answer a question, they dont' even bother to read all parts of the question. Why is this? Many people are just careless, and don't read it through. But since Yahoo Answers awards people with two points for every question they answer, they sometimes just simply don't care whether what they are correct, incorrect, or whatnot, because either way, they will get the two points, building them up to the levels they need to get to.

I did not read your 1st question, so don't know everything you are talking about in this question. Doing things just to "shake the trees" does not seem too profitable here. To the simple question, some assume you want a simple quick answer. Some folks just want to be heard regardless of what you think. My question would be, what is it that you really are looking for?

I found your "simple question".
First off, it was answered as it was because it was not obvious that you had a trick in mind. It's like the "When was the War of 1812 fought?" question. People often get that wrong because they don't think the obvious answer is possible.
After your hint, I'd have to say that your "right" answer is still wrong. A cub is still a bear, hon - just like a puppy is a dog and a baby is still human. Even the smallest crumb of bread is still bread.
