<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FAQ">FAQs have been around since 1647</a> and everybody recognizes it&#8217;s worth. Although today they are reached from search engines, They serve their purpose quite well. When you have a doubt, you google for it and most probably you&#8217;ll find the answer since someone asked it already.</p>

<p>Well, today I&#8217;ll present you another kind of format that is also useful, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrequently_Asked_Questions">the Infrequently Answered Questions</a> (IAQ). After checking Wikipedia, in which is said <span class="caps">IAQ</span> are used as jokes, I&#8217;ve read a real one: <a href="http://www.norvig.com/python-iaq.html">Python <span class="caps">IAQ</span></a>.</p>

<p>It comes very handy when you&#8217;re exploring the obscure paths of Python language. This <span class="caps">IAQ</span> answers some things that most of the people don&#8217;t know about. I suggest you read it and bookmark it, because if you work with Python, it might become handy in the future.</p>

<p>Python <span class="caps">IAQ</span> was written by <a href="http://norvig.com">Peter Norvig</a>, Director of Research of Google and was head of the Computational Sciences Division at <span class="caps">NASA</span> Research Center. He&#8217;s been a researcher in the area of Artificial Intelligence and a code guru in Python, Java, Lisp and he was even one of the creators of <a href="http://jscheme.sourceforge.net/jscheme/main.html">JScheme</a>. He is also known for <a href="http://www.norvig.com/Gettysburg/">his presentation</a>, a satire about bad presentations (reminds me of one of the same type titled &#8220;How to prepare good presentations&#8221; I gave in my class last year).</p>
