The winner is not the best answer it's the best guess at what the question really was
In my years as a technical instructor - and even as a F/I before that - this was often the hardest part of my job: Sorting out what the student was REALLY asking.
BTW - no matter how well I prepared to teach, I soon found the students would learn as much or more from each other, than they learned from me. The best I could do was to keep them steered in the right direction!
