Question: Is it helpful to ask questions!?
even in finding the answer for oneself!?

Does sharing a question, help us finding the answer before it is even answered!?

Why is that!?Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Because, when sharing the question we have to explain it to somebody!. That makes us look at the question again, and we often can look at it different ways or without the frustration of trying to solve the problem!. For example, often times when learning a subject, you *really* learn it when you explain it to somebody!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

In finding a suitable answer to a difficult question, it helps greatly to spend some time in framing the question so that you can more easily recognize the right answer when you see it!. In a way, framing a question is like writing a set of specifications for an acceptable answer!. A good question will help focus the investigation into an answer!. An irrelevant, inapplicable, or incomplete answer will be seen as such when checked against a properly posed question!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

When I ask a question I am usually looking for people's opinions!. Sometimes I seek advice, and sometimes I seek information!.

The people who answer don't have to agree with me!. I will treat them with respect, and I expect them to respect me and each other in return!.

I think sharing the question, whatever we are seeking from those who answer it is helpful!.

So I think my answer is yes!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Many times we know the answer and just need to "ask" to open our minds to our own answer!.

But unaided intuition is not always the best way to solve things, so sometimes the "hard answer" (the one our gut says "no way" to) is the right answer!.

And sometimes we just need someone who knows how to use the garbage disposal!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

i believe it is very useful !.!.!. and helpful

it fosters the atmosphere of asking !.!.!. insightful questions!.!.!.

long ago !.!.!. mathematics had been nurtured by the greeks , chinese, arabs !.!.!. and many more by observing things in nature and!.!.!. asking themselves why!? !.!. why is this like that!? what happens when !.!. !. !. (of course, other sciences also developed)

nowadays!.!.!. it seems 'trivial' to ask !.!.!. some questions (except when you are a student) !.!.!. but the truth is!.!.!. it reminds us!.!. of some of the ideas that we had simply taken for granted!.!.!. but might be worth investigating!.!.!. or!.!.!. some questions can be modified/ improved and would yield a very good contribution to the mathematical world !.!. !. !.!. !.
(if they, whoever they are, lol, didnt question Euclid's 5th postulate, the other geometries would not have come about)

plus!.!.!. i have this notion !.!.!. that !.!.!. despite the deluge of homework quality questions here !.!.!. there might be some gems hidden in the fodder!.!.!. some of the questions could actually be used by undergraduate college students !.!. with some modifications maybe, as a research paper!.
[of course, haha, i'm responding with mathematics in mind !.!.!. and i didnt notice that the question could have been philosophical in nature]Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yahoo answers is a good place to get unnerving questions resolved provided the experts happen to see your question when you put it!. If they have put your name in their contact, then they get an alert from Yahoo and can answer it when they see, but otherwise it is unpredictable if it will be answered to your satisfaction!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Certainly, This finding answer by urself after asking the question happens due to ur temporary recessive memory and overburned with many other thoughts!. So when ur asking question there is a strong possibility for ur brain to understand that there is some valid information pertaining to the query to which it starts looking out the answer for in it's own space, so it's sometimes an instant reflex action for our memory to act up at certain point!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I've never experienced that!. I normally though tend to find answers to my questions after writing down what I've thought, and I guess that may be like asking the question!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I find asking questions quiet helpful, it might not give me an answer but it does often times stimulate me to think in other directions!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

most of the time we are looking for a diferent opinion I think, also we can get some extra information about the situationWww@QuestionHome@Com
