yes or no...... "what do you think"

[br21]

I asked a question to someone yesterday, where the answer could only have been yes or no, the reply was "what do you think" does this mean yes or no.

[redcrx]

your then reply shouldnt have been either

a) what do you think i think
or
b) what would you like me to think

[4getmenot]

'' Is this a rhetorical question? ''

The answer back can usually means that you should know the answer and you should never have asked it in the first place!

They don't know the answer and don't want to admit it!
