This is a joke, right?

Well, remember this is Jeopardy, so the contestants receive the 'answer,' and must supply the 'question.'
Actually, you answer the question just like any other game show. The cute oddity of Jeopardy is that you frame your answer in the form of a question. Have no doubt though, you are most definitely giving an answer.
If you watch a lot of Jeopardy you will notice that when a contestant fails to give the answer in the proper form Alex will say, "I'm sorry. You failed to give your answer in the form of a question." I am quite confident that Alex will never say, "I'm sorry. You failed to give your question to the answer."
And now, just to blow your mind.
Q. The form of an answer on Jeopardy.
A. What is a question?
with C++ it's not always obvious what a compiler might want to do with '+' thanks to operator overloading and rather convoluted implicit casting rules.
I agree that optimized, compiled code might as well be a block box nowadays.
However, I think the problem with C++ is that it is not obvious what your fellow _programmer_ wants to do with '+'. That's the real problem with operator overloading. Everytime I have to dive through 4 layers of pre-processed headers to figure out what '+' does is another nail in that coffin.
