| Apr 30, 2016 at 13:35 | comment | added | sammy gerbil | @dmckee : I agree. The OP is asking for help interpreting the question, not a conceptual difficulty. This is similar to DavidZ's example ("Does this length refer to length or wavelength?"). I think such questions can (and should) be answered by comments; they have no lasting value for the site and can be deleted after the OP has had time to read and possibly reply to the comments. | |
| Apr 27, 2016 at 23:56 | comment | added | dmckee --- ex-moderator kitten Mod | This example was handled in the comments, which I think is OK. It was a basic misunderstanding brought on by the homonyms "break" and "brake", and not really about physics at all. A good time to help someone out without having to have a question and answer left cluttering up the site indefinitely. | |

| Apr 13, 2016 at 14:50 | comment | added | Kyle Kanos | @Martin: well that stinks. I'll try taking a screenshot later this evening for those who can't see it, thanks. | |
| Apr 13, 2016 at 14:47 | comment | added | Martin | Note that the question is deleted and thereby invisible for sub-I-don't-remember-the-required-reputation-but>10k-users (maybe for everyone?) | |
| Apr 12, 2016 at 10:47 | comment | added | Kyle Kanos | I agree as well, the lack of effort isn't great, but I think it's at least a starting point here. | |
| Apr 12, 2016 at 10:37 | comment | added | David Z Mod | I would note that this doesn't show any effort. Granted, it's not a calculation-type question where the poster could be expected to work through some math, but I think a better question of this form would mention doing a web search or something. (Good example, BTW.) | |
