  • Of course, in the case of the C++ questions, the vast majority of them are not about C++ - it's just that the questioner gave them that tag. This is why they don't have answers. I would estimate that 99.99% of C++ questions that are actually about the language get answered quickly. Probably the same is true for most other unanswered questions. Commented Mar 31, 2010 at 20:02

    The one drawback of a search like answers:0 closed:0 you tend to find a large number of poorly asked and/or abandoned questions. Most questions that can be answered usually don't stay in an unanswered state very long. Commented Mar 31, 2010 at 20:08
