When people keep telling you that Google has the answer

Haha nice!

I'd tell him to recursively ask Google about recursion within Google and point at the first stack overflow link I see.

Then when he asks what I'm getting at.. : elementary my dear friend, it is within the loop ;)

And if he looks puzzled I'd reply :welcome to the matrix then walk away, silently... :l

every single time on Stack Overflow the first answer is about not knowing how to google

I never found a problem that has no answer in google. But I remember one that was very hard. RESTFull API with java.

I once had a problem that was nowhere to be found with Google. I couldn't properly send function parameters to a SOAP call in PHP (yes, it hurts). Had to figure it out myself that the endpoint was at fault, not me.
