What is the difference between a problem and a question?
I've got a splinter. Can you help me take my splinter out? I'm hungry. Can you make me some food? There ya go!

Basically, a problem, is an issue that has arised, that is negative for someone, that you can raise. And a question is something that you say to someone, that is either a positive or negative one either to find out information off someone. Questions are a way of solving problems. So the question is the means of solving the problem that you have.

What's an assertion, and what should I type in?

Compesh is a question and answer (and debate) website, so before you make a debate, you better learn what an assertion is. I suppose you already know what a question is, and that you've typed it in the box. ;)

An assertion, is basically a statement you can make, that is either true or false.

Richer people have better health.

The question for that would be, Do richer people have better health?

And don't forget to make your assertion, match your question.
