If I'm honest I have no idea what would be a open ended question. I asked yesterday how people learned a new language because I'm struggling with it and wanted to see how other people do it. But that doesn't seem like a open ended question and would not be allowed?
I think questions with "how", " why", "where" etc. tend to be open. An example for a closed question would be: "Do you use apps to learn a new language?"
Maybe you could argue about "what" and "who" questions, but I prefer uninteresting questions to be filtered out by votes instead of rules, anyway, so I don't care.
Also, even a "bad" question can be saved by a good answer, e.g. a report on language learning apps.
