I think threads like this might benefit from the rules that reddit.com/r/AskReddit uses (which have changed a bit recently, but the general idea stays the same): If you're asking a question with your post, put your own answer in a comment, instead of the main body. That enables people to vote on your example independently of the question itself.
Agreed this is a good idea. Will do it next time. Though I urge you to consider that the first description people read will shape their kind of response afterwards, so sometimes the "first mover advantage" is good for establishing, tacitly, what kinds of remarks and format of response will be used. (which is a mild instance of what I defend in the solved one)
Though it has some unfairness to it, which may be corrected by separating "expected form" from "first example". Shall do so next time.
EDIT: No one was doing what the post suggests, so I accepted an idea from one of the comments, and embedded my response in a comment, not the post itself
I'd like to ask this question to you, and I'll respond it myself as well.
What Is The Worst Problem You've Ever Encountered and Solved? And the One You Didn't, Yet!
Some prior considerations:
1) I mean "problem" in a very general sense, it could be a math problem, an existential problem, a social problem, an akrasia problem, a disease problem etc...
2) I'd like people to give informative/didactic responses. Try not only to state the facts, but also to help someone who'd encounter similar situations to be able to deal with them.
3) When talking about the one you didn't, give enough specifics that someone would actually be able to help you.
The general idea is to teach people how to Win by example, taking in consideration all the shortcomings of biases etc...
Well, that is all. One solved, one not yet solved. State your own issues and help others here. Someone else's rationality is always welcome.
