The Game

Today it's time to play "The Game". Which game? The Game.
It is really called "What is the Least Amount of Information in Order to Solve the Problem Game", but The Game is easier to say.
The rules are very simple: Entries must be in the form of a question. A statement and then a question is acceptable, provided the question relates to the statement. An example of an unacceptable entry is "My left sock is wet. Does this look infected to you?"
Entries, ideally, should be impossible to answer.

Let's play! So far, today's entries are:

  • This report doesn't look right. Can you fix it?
  • My computer hates me. Why won't it work right?
  • Is the network OK? (via email)
  • Can you fix my internet printout?
  • What causes this "File Not Found" error?
Leading the pack is
  • Got a minute?
Best disqualified entry is
  • Who is this email from?
It was disqualified because the answer "You?" was actually correct and solved the problem since the user forgot to attach the junk email.
