Which subforums have the most unanswered posts?

  • Thread starter Stephen Tashi

In summary, the speaker, who spends most of their time in the math sections, does not know which subforums have the most unanswered posts. They note that the General Engineering section has many posts with 0 replies, and wonder if this is due to the difficulty of solving practical problems. They also mention that there is a search function to find all threads without replies.

Just out of curiousity, which subforums tend to have the most unanswered posts?

I spend most of my time in the math sections, so I don't know much about the others. In visiting the General Engineering section today, I notice that there are a lot posts with 0 replies. (Is this evidence that practical problems are harder to solve than theoretical problems?)

You can find all threads without replies https://www.physicsforums.com/search.php?do=process&replyless=1&replylimit=0 (can be found at "Get Posts" -> "No Replies").
Practical problems often do not have a clear, simple answer, but I don't know that that influences the number of threads without replies.
