What do you call a question you know the answer to, but you want an answer? Consider this hypothetical scenario:   You make plans with a significant other They bail on you because they are too tired You find out they went out with someone else You ask, despite knowing the answer, "did you end up going to sleep early last night?" They respond, "Ya" You respond, "That was a(n) _________ question"   I don't think it's rhetorical because you're expecting an answer. However, the question is asked for a different purpose than a traditional question since it's a test to see if the friend (or whomever) will lie or tell the truth. Is there a name for this type of question? Like... "unveiling question" or "truth-seeking question" lol?  EDIT:   The goal of this question is to determine whether the other party will speak the known truth. With that said, it is not a:   trick question. There is a correct and obvious answer loaded question. There is no assumption - it is factual trap question. The question can't expose ignorance since both parties know the answer. interrogation. This is too generalized for what I'm looking for. "To question thoroughly" prompt. This isn't a means to encourage a hesitant speaker   I'm unsure of whether "leading" is correct. To me, a leading question is one where the questioner doesn't actually have an answer to the question, and also needs to make the question specific for legal reasons. Whereas the questioner in my scenario above knows the answer, and doesn't necessarily have to ask a specific question, but rather uses it to expedite the unveiling process since the question in itself is a guise for an ulterior goal.  Also, I'm not looking for a general saying, nor an idiom - I'm looking to fill the blank in my scenario. Similar to how one would ask a rhetorical question where the questioned party answers, you would respond stating, "That was a rhetorical question."  EDIT EDIT:  I'm not looking for a word to describe the question (appending a word to "question"), but rather a word that is the type of question, but also flows well with the sentence and atmosphere. I'm essentially hoping/looking for something like "rhetorical question," but for this context.   If someone asks a rhetorical question and someone answers it, you can state that it's a rhetorical question, which is both the type of question, as well as a standalone explanation where the other party immediately understands that the question was unneeded. However, in this context, I want this type of question to make the other party immediately understand that they made a mistake and are in trouble, without having to add additional explanation.
Is there a saying or idiom for "trying to get the truth from someone by lying"? context   Mary-Ann got home late from school.  Asked where she had been, she said she had spent the afternoon at the library.  Her father thinks she is lying and says: "I know you haven’t been there because I was there myself".  He is lying because he thinks she will tell the truth if she realizes she has been caught. boyfriend – “your sister told me everything” (sister did nothing) -  girlfriend – “Oh, did she? I’m gonna kill her.    The rationale for doing this is to catch someone by surprise so he will admit having lied.  Soemtimes, however, the person isn’t lying and the real liar will have to reap the consequences of his reproachable action, having to admit he was just/it was just ...........(saying or idiom).....
Displaying page construction guides Is there any way to overlay some lines and dimensions on the document so that one can see where the margins end and more easily examine the overall layout and ratios of elements on the page?  See for example, some of the illustrations of frameworks in this article on the  and this one on  (which displays dimensions). I understand that unlocking the bootloader will wipe my Android phone, but have been looking around for why.  Seems to be by design, but what is the reasoning for that design?  Is it some security concern, some obscure technical reason, or just for lulz?  I'm looking for something solid to chew on here, something more than because "that's how it is". I wrote a question about blocking certain characters in passwords. It became tremendously unpopular, and it seemed like everyone wanted to rain on my parade every day.  Eventually, I "got it," agreed completely with what people were saying to me, and just wanted to withdraw my question so that my reputation didn't slide even further downhill.  Unfortunately, the system is designed such that I can't withdraw my question or redeem myself. Instead, I just get daily reputation attacks. That's a terrible system, and it needs to be changed. One of my laptop's keys has fallen off. Is there any way I can remap another key to serve as that key?  I'll 'sacrifice' the other key because I never use it. US tourism/business visa from non-resident country I applied for multiple visas before (not US visa), but all of them were from my residence country. In all of these cases, I can get official paper which support my evidence (bank statement, letter which states I am employed with high salary, marriage certificate, security clearance, ...).  It is the same question as , but I am not residing; I have a business visa.  case-specific details: I am from Egypt, I have business visa for Ireland. While in Ireland, I want to apply for US business visa.  Why not to apply from Egypt? Because the waiting time is too long (75 days). The waiting time in Ireland in only 18 days. Both visits (Ireland, US) are short visits (3 weeks for each). Scorched3d worked then stopped. Unistalled and reinstalled did not help. Running Ubuntu 16.04.04LTS.

On a crop sensor camera, e.g. Canon EOS 7D, what would be the best kit to travel with around Europe for a few weeks? My shooting style will focus on landscape, architecture, and general travel shots (of note would be my lack of interest for portraits).     Limit to around 1-3 lenses, and I prefer light ones.   Crop sensor camera chosen to save on weight over a full frame option. Question is open to all brands for general guidance, but I will be using a Canon body.   Cost is not a factor, I will rent the lenses I do not already own.   Quality is of paramount importance. I will not have a tripod.   I understand some may consider this subjective, but I do believe that for a crop sensor body, with weight as a consideration, and a limit to the amount of lenses, a true best kit can be determined. How do I get permissions to edit system configuration files? I can't seem to edit and save config files in the root system (eg: /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.config); it just says "permission denied" or the save option is blocked in the text editor.  I'm pretty sure I'm a root user, but how do I make sure? If I am a root user, how do I fix this? Say I'm flying from Sydney, to Los Angeles (S2LA), back to Sydney (LA2S).  During S2LA, travelling with the rotation of the earth, would the flight time be longer than LA2S on account of Los Angeles turning/moving away from our position?  Or, in the opposite direction, would the flight to Sydney be faster since the Earth turns underneath us and moves Sydney closer?  ===   Please ignore jet stream effects and all other variables; this is a control case in an ideal environment.

My two year old daughter has never been to a daycare, so everything she knows is something that me, my husband, or her grandparents have taught her. She sees very little interaction with other kids her age, well, except for her 8 month old sister.   I am wondering what people, or even day care centers, teach two year olds. What do they do all day long? Presently, our daughter draws a lot - she has bathtub crayons, wax crayons for paper, and chalk for the driveway/sidewalk. She attempts to draw circles and lines. We try to teach her shapes and colors, and she has a rough idea of what they are. She plays with sand in the sandbox a lot, dumping sand all over her and her sister's head. She goes to her playhouse and uses the slide and the swing.   We sing songs together - the alphabet song or the numbers song. She is able to say the correct word when I say the phonic (i.e. if I say B, she'll say ball; if I say H, she'll say hat). She tries counting, but is still learning (she goes 1, 2, 6, 7, 8...). She enjoys building and destroying towers. We read books and I sing some nursery rhymes. She plays a toy piano and dances around to it. She plays with playdough, but most of the time it just ends up in crumbs everywhere.  She also watches TV - something I know most parents object to. She enjoys watching Dora, Finding Nemo, and Cinderella. She will sometimes watch LeapFrog phonics videos for alphabet and numbers.   I am not trying to give a resume for my daughter, but merely wondering is there something more that kids her age do? Is there something else that I should be teaching her? What do kids her age do at a daycare?   Thanks How can I import an obj sequence into blender? I have an obj sequence of a fluid simulation from Realflow.

Regex to validate date format dd/mm/yyyy Sort Order on Close Vote Queue The Close-Vote queue is large and growing. I searched for definitive information on how that queue is sorted for reviewers, and the nearest I could find is that it is randomized - but that post was some years old.  Would it be possible to sort on order of votes already received? That is, all questions with 4 votes to close are surfaced first (in random order) to reviewers? Questions with 3 votes would come up before ones with 2, etc. In that manner a given question gets out of 'will it close?' limbo faster.   This feature request would, in my opinion, be supportable if the majority of reviewer votes were going to single-vote questions. I cannot (I think) actually find these numbers. If this is the case, the majority of the work is going to an ever-increasing queue, and proportionally fewer votes are being resolved.  Note there are other distributions that could help get in this direction without being a strict ordering, like weighting the chance a given question is surfaced to a reviewer by the number of votes. However, for discussion purposes I thought I'd keep it simple.  Usual apology if this has actually been addressed. Search is sad-making.
