Okay, guessing can solve the problem faster but if he/she has no idea, then he/she shouldn't.

Bad, when I ask for an answer, I want a solution and not a guess.

What do you think about guessing what might cause a problem and guess how to fix it and post it as an answer rather than waiting for/letting someone who knows post it?
Example:

Asker: What causes the fire in my house and how can I stop it?
Guesser: I guess it's caused by some papers falling down in front of a magnifying glass while the Sun was switched on. (The guesser could be right or wrong)
Knower: It's a known bug. It's because the oxygen in the atmosphere is programmed in a way that allows fires inside houses. In the next update, fires won't occur in places where people don't want them, but until then, it will be a good idea always to be armed with some water pistols.

I mean, poor Asker if he ran around looking for the sun switch or for the magnifying glass in the middle of the flames... No, guessers could answer the problem, but if they guess wrong, the problem could become worse.

This not a game, and not software either. I'm asking you what you think about guessing on a solution and posting it on the forum rather than waiting for someone who knows the answer to answer. :P

@Bla, I thought it was a game, so I was "playing" it. You have "Directions", so I thought it was a game.

Okay, not so strange. :P
I wanted to make my description a little longer, but I couldn't, that missing detail could probably have explained it all.
But I guess you understand it now.

I'm not sure about how to play it. :P But I'll guess and try...

I guess it's because some ultraviolet radiation from your lamp gave it cancer, and it's data mutated completely, and it was turned into a zombie, which ate your printer and your calculator, but forgot it was allergic to ink, and tried to cure itself by eating all your medicine... And candy, and got fat, and tried to steal your bike so it could get some exercise, but it was too heavy, and your bike was crushed under it's enormous weight, causing it to destroy half of your house in anger and then running away to cause more trouble in other places.

No, it's caused by a computer virus. You should scan your computer daily.

Probably because it hates you. It didn't like how you made it and it told the oven to deep fry it. The oven used x-ray radiation to cook it quick, burning down your house.

No, it was because a volcano gained internet access and searched Google on Google, causing the internet to explode, catching everyone on Earth in a sticky web, which was so cold that it froze down your body to a temperature of 0 kelvin while your cake was in the oven. Luckily, the web browser... Uuh, I mean web, had a programmed... I mean natural timer, which caused it to disappear... Fully according to the e=mc2-thing... After some time, and your body temperature for some reason instantly increased to normal, and your brain worked again and your cake was burned.

Will it blend? That is the question.

No, nothing blends in a blender.
