Why Does Everyone Answer A Question Which Has Already Been Answered By 1000's Of People?

Answer Question

9 Answers - Sort by: Date | Rating

    Actually Hisdimple, the most answered question is from Jimspolice. He asked "How many zeros are in 1 trillion?" and it got like 130+ answers, half of them are wrong but whatever. And i think people do it to reassure the questioner and probably to get points too.

      I have not once seen a question receive "thousands" of answers. I believe the record is somewhere in the 30s or 40s. And that question was posted as a lark, just to have fun. The whole idea is receive a knowledgeable answer. The first 10 answers may be wrong, ambiguous, nasty, not enough info. Etc. The more answers, the better.

      Friend here 1000's means a lot of answers.

      I can understand if a question if of funny type or kind.

      But the question i'm talking was a Mathematical question.

      You asked the question in Blurtit>About Blurtit category. There was no mention of mathematics. "already been answered by 1000s of people", suggest the conontation that over 1000 people have answered a single question. Maybe this a problem with the English language?

        If it was a math question, and the first answer was right, Then perhaps the others were answering simply for the points, or maybe they knew a different method to GET to that same answer.

        If answer is right then why they answered it again rather to post comments on such answers??

        And,

        If questioner doesn't able to understand such answer then he or she can also post a comment and ask others for such questions.

        Here Mati, i'm more emphasising on such irrelevent questions which were asked.
        It's better to have more answers ( 4-5 ) on some real question than fake ones.

        Hope you could understand my thought.
