Someone does not directly answer a question (and might not technically respond at all) — but still makes themself crystal clear. The person who asked the question may then reply "I'll take that as a [yes/no]."
Inverse of:
Non-Answer: when someone directly responds with something so vague it's not an answer at all.
Mathematician's Answer: when the response is direct and absolutely correct, but is utterly useless anyways.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows has one that doesn't even get past the question stage. Harry is trying to explain to Vernon why the Dursleys need to be moved in secrecy: Voldemort might try to torture Harry's location out of them, or think that by holding them hostage Harry would try to go rescue them. Harry and Vernon clearly have the exact same question in mind.

Subverted in John Wick: Chapter 2. After his car gets smashed up in the opening scene, John has Aurelio take a look at it and asks if he can fix it. Aurelio gives a long, long list of catastrophic issues with the car, only to shrug and say, "Sure, I can fix it." He adds that it'll take a very long time, though.

In Dragon Ball Z Abridged, Cell asks Trunks how he thinks Cell got to the past from his timeline, to which Trunks responds that it was obviously with Trunks's time machine. When Cell follows up by asking how Trunks thinks he got the time machine (the obvious implication being that Cell killed him for it), Trunks just says "I don't want to answer that."

In The Codeless Code, monks will frequently answer a yes or no question with "Wu" or "Null." Either means "I won't answer because you're asking the wrong question."
