text: When you ask a single person something they might not know, or you might not like the answer. Asking lots of different people can increase your chance of getting a good response. For example, I had a friend ask me once "what's the answer for the math homework?" Now I really didn't know so I said "I'm not sure, but maybe someone else does" They left unsatisfied and unsure. I saw them walking around asking other people, and sure enough, he came back with all the answers in less then thirty minutes! Don't worry we were allowed to have partners so we weren't cheating, but see what asking lots of people can do!
