"Tell me about a time you solved a problem"

This question and its variations are so startling to me. What's more infuriating is the people trying to solve it. Bro, what am I supposed to do with the star "methodology". I DON'T HAVE AN ANSWER to begin with. I can't answer this question because I simply don't have anything I can say here, and I've had good experience btw.

Anyone with a good concrete answer here? Please help...

Lol all these STAR questions are bullshit anyways. I just make up shit half the time. Remember all your resume bullets and think of stories you can spin based on that. That's what I basically do. You could also treat this question as a variation of dealing with a challenge. Or a time you dealt with multiple responsibilities at once

 
Funniest

You've never solved a problem before?  You can't reflect on a single instance in your life where you faced a problem, then solved it?

Try doing an inception-style answer whereby the problem you're facing is that you've never solved a problem in your life and your solution, which is the answer you're presently typing, is that you used someone else's problem/solution from an online forum to satisfy the question.
