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.
Or you could put your answer in the body as an example, explaining that you've also posted the answer as a comment. Then people can vote on your answer independently from your question, and you can establish the expected form before people begin reading other people's comments.
Then that I will try on next time.
Just one thing: both you and gwillen mentioned "voting on your example"
I didn't think the point of giving an example was to allow for it being voted. An example is an example. Sure, one may like or dislike it, and think it more or less good. But why is the goal of voting an example important? For me, what matters is creating your own example, and helping those who put theirs.
Advice is 99,9% of time not a 1 bit thing that can be summarized in thumbs down or up.
