"Could you describe Mathematician's Answer here?"
Yes.
"...Would you describe it here?"
Yes.
"..."
Well, of course I'll describe it to you! First you asked me if I could describe it, then you asked if I would describe it, but you never actually asked me to describe the trope to you.
"All right, then. Describe Mathematician's Answer here."
If you ask someone a question, and they give you an entirely accurate answer that is of no practical use whatsoever, they have just given you a Mathematician's Answer. A common form of this trope is to fully evaluate the logic of the question and give a logically correct answer. Such a response may prove confusing for someone who interpreted what they said colloquially.
Examples include requests for favors being superficially interpreted as requests for information ("Can you do me a favor?" being interpreted as "Are you capable of doing me a favor?").
Such examples are often used in linguistics and philosophy of language to illustrate how context and convention determine implicit meaning: "Do you have any spare pillows?" "Yes. Thank you for asking." People do not usually ask for trivial information or information they already possess, which is how competent speakers know not to provide the Mathematician's Answer. This is also a favorite of English teachers and Grammar Nazis, frequently going through something similar to "Can I come in?" "I don't know, can you?" "Uh, may I come in?".
Another common form is when a character is asked "Is it A or B?" they will respond "Yes" as if it were a question of Boolean logic rather than clarifying which specific one is the case. This occurs because a question of the form "Is the capital of Australia Melbourne or Canberra?" is ambiguous between "The capital of Australia is either Melbourne or Canberra. Which one is it?" and "Is it the case that the capital of Australia is either Melbourne or Canberra?". A logician may mistake the former for the latter, to the questioner's frustration. Though, they may also answer affirmatively if they know that at least one of those answers is correct but don't know which, or consider all answers correct, or because the second answer is the correct one, and their lack of response to the first is self-explanatory. This crops up a lot in Real Life, especially in the world of computers. On the former interpretation it is also a loaded question, so the askee may legitimately answer "No" (meaning it's none of the stated options) even if the questioner didn't mean it to be a Yes-or-No question.
A third variant is when a "How?" question (as in "By what method?") is answered with an adverb or adverbial phrase, as if the question had been "In what manner?". For example: "How did you get past the guards?" "With difficulty."
Can be used by characters for reasons ranging from snarky humor to intentional obfuscation to being extremely Literal-Minded — AI and other Literal Genies by their nature are very likely to fall into the last category.
Can overlap with Shaped Like Itself when the question is seeking a description, and with Captain Obvious, as these answers tend to be self-evident for anyone with a brain. Usually doubles as a Cryptically Unhelpful Answer, when the "mathematician" is deliberately trying to confound the questioner. Compare Non-Answer, which is a vague "answer" which does not answer the question at all. Mildly related to What's a Henway? and Not Actually the Ultimate Question. Can also overlap with Comically Missing the Point if the speaker genuinely thinks they are giving an answer.
The trope name comes from a family of jokes about the supposed habit of mathematicians to make unhelpful answers. For example: a man in a hot-air balloon asked someone where he was. "You're in a balloon", he answered. The rider concluded that it was a mathematician that said that, because the answer was perfectly correct and completely useless. (The joke sometimes continues with the mathematician deducing that the man in the balloon is a manager, because he has risen to his position with a lot of hot air, has no idea where he is or where he is going, and yet claims this is the fault of the innocent person standing below him.)
A final variation is also common — when given two seemingly contradictory possibilities and asked which is the case, to answer "yes". It is a somewhat snarky way to say that both are true, and that it is not in fact a contradiction.
All of Them is a subtrope that's its own Stock Phrase, as an answer to a question of quantity. See also What's a Henway?. Contrast Implied Answer when the question isn't answered at all, and the meaning is quite clear. Often the answer is Trivially Obvious. Related to Rhetorical Question Blunder: the person who was asked gives a logical answer that ruins the spirit of the question. Compare and contrast No Wrong Answers Except That One. Compare to Lying by Omission, where the omission is more intentional and less a matter of a literal answer to a vague question.
May be a feature of Anti-Humor when given as the punchline to a joke. Compare Ask a Stupid Question... and Literalist Snarking. A well-known example is the Chicken Joke: "Why did the chicken cross the road?" "To get to the other side."

Bleach: When a very young Uryuu asks his father why he hates being a Quincy, Ryuuken replies "because there's no money in it", leaving Uryuu so shocked and troubled that he runs to his grandfather in tears, asking if Ryuuken's answer is a truth or lie. Souken points out that, because Ryuuken has a family to raise, it can be viewed as truthful. In fact, Ryuuken is telling the truth from any angle - being Quincy never pays the bills regardless of whether or not there's a family to raise. However, Uryuu wants to know why Ryuuken hates being a Quincy, yet neither Ryuuken nor Souken actually answer that question. They both sidestep it completely.

A typical line from Rotom Dex in Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon does this whenever forced to choose between two or more equal probabilities. "I calculate a 50% chance that our friends went this way, and a 50% chance that they went this other way!"

Lindsay (privately) cops to sending Kevin after said rival, but just to scare her, maybe to rough her up a bit. When Lindsay asks Kevin directly if he responsible for the rape/murder, Kevin would simply say "I did what you asked me to."

In Shrek the Third, Pinocchio has a very confusing one in order to not lie to Prince Charming about where Shrek is. It involves Confusing Multiple Negatives. Unfortunately, it gets so aggravatingly confusing that his allies crack and tell the truth.

When That '70s Show was in pre-production, the casting directors were scouting 18-to-20-year-old actors to play the teenage protagonists, but Mila Kunis, who was 14 at the time, merely told them that she'd be 18 "on [her] birthday". By the time they learned the truth, they already liked her performance as Jackie, so she stayed with the show in its entire run.

Cheers:
In "What Is... Cliff Clavin?", Cliff attempted to use such an answer on Jeopardy! when asked to identify three actors by their original, non-stage names. His reply was "Who are three people who have never been in my kitchen?" Correct, but ...
One conversation:
Another example had Cliff give a long and detailed explanation about why they drank ice cold beer in the middle of winter (which essentially centred around the need to equalise your internal and external temperatures). When he had finished, Carla then asked him why they also drank it summer. His response was "What else are we going to do with it?".

The French-Canadian sitcom Un gars, une fille (A Guy and a Girl), has the Guy in the title ask his girlfriend which of two wines she wants for supper. She answers "Yes." This prompts him to reply "When someone gives you a choice between two things, you can't answer with yes! If you're afraid of committing to a decision, do you want me to pick for you, or do you want me to leave choices up to you?" Her answer? "Yes! Yes Yes Yes!"

In issue 3 of Loki: Agent of Asgard, when the title character appears at a speed-date dressed like their usual self, the woman sitting across from them asks if they're dressed for a con(vention). Their response? "There's always a con going on somewhere."
Issue 5 has the Loki of a possible future answer this to a question regarding what happens to Midgard: "T'was governed most perfectly. By my reckoning." Later it turned out that they are ruling Earth in that timeline. They also happened to kill off every living being on the planet just to spite Thor. Well, no incarnation of Loki was ever humble.
This trope is pretty much Loki's most benign setting; at least he isn't in a manipulating mood (yet).

This can come up in Monster of the Week. The rules for the investigate a mystery move specify that the GM has to answer honestly, within the limitations of the source the hunter is using to investigate. If the monster is something that doesn't appear in the chosen source - a technological abomination or alien being being looked up in a medieval grimoire, for example - the answers are likely to be deeply unhelpful but technically accurate.

In Borderlands 2: Mister Torgue's Campaign of Carnage:
Mister Torgue explains that the reason he's always disorganized and was unable to find a sponsor for the Vault Hunter was because he was "busy suplexing a shark wearing a bolo tie". He then notices that "You may ask, who was wearing the bolo tie, you or the shark?". Answer: YES.
Torgue poses something of a Mathematicians' Question in the introduction to this campaign. "I have one question, and one question only: EXPLOSIONS?!" Under the circumstances, one could be led to believe that the valid answer is "Yes".

Early in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, Harry asks Hagrid what the difference is between a stalactite and a stalagmite. Hagrid replies, "Stalagmite's got an 'M' in it". Admittedly, they were hurtling through the Gringotts minecart system at the time, and Hagrid was busy trying not to throw up.
Dumbledore gets in a straighter example later on in Philosopher's Stone:
Harry has one in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince when Snape asks him about his copy of Advanced Potion-Making.
After a particularly surreal portion of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Harry asks if the previous discussion was real, or just in his head. His companion simply responds that being in his head wouldn't make their conversation any less real.

In Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Trials and Tribulations, client Ron DeLite didn't make your job any easier, as when he found the victim's body, his first reaction was to hide it in a safe whose code is only known to a few people, including him, making him look even more suspicious. When you ask him about it...

The Pink Panther:
In the 2006 movie starring Steve Martin, a reporter asks Inspector Clouseau if they (the police) know if the killer is a man or a woman. Clouseau's answer is: "Well, of course I know that! What else is there, a kitten?"
Also, when he quotes someone about politics, Yvette asks him if he said it, meaning if he is the original author of the quote. Clouseau takes the question literally and, after bemusedly looking around for someone else, answers "Yes."
In The Return of the Pink Panther, Clouseau visits a town where he encounters this trope, twice. First he enters a taxi and says to the driver "Follow that car!" The cabbie promptly starts chasing the car... on foot! A minute or two later, Clouseau asks a passer-by for directions.
In The Pink Panther Strikes Again, Clouseau enters an inn, sees a dog, and asks the innkeeper if his dog bites. The answer he gets is technically correct...

In Scott Meyer's Master of Formalities, the entire palace of House Jakabitus is coated with a layer of nanites which perform various functions. If someone is injured, all he has to do is to put the wound against a wall or the floor, as the nanites are programmed to eliminate germs and seal wounds as a first-aid measure until the medical staff arrives, which usually happens within minutes. Everyone notes that the nanites work well with the medical staff, but any questions on how they do it is always met with the answer "Seamlessly."

An example where this is not played for laughs occurs in The Dresden Files novel Small Favor, when Harry brings the injured Valkyrie Gard to Michael Carpenter's house for treatment. Michael's fellow Knight Sanya is there and is examining Gard, noting that she is more than human. He asks "The woman. What is she?" to which Harry responds "Injured." Sanya understands the implied rebuke immediately and apologizes.

Supernatural:
Castiel irritates Dean with a couple mathematician's answers when they first meet and Dean is trying to figure out who or what Castiel is. Played with somewhat in that Castiel might believe his answers to be legitimately helpful, while the audience is well aware that he's just telling Dean superficial things he already knows while avoiding the deeper explanation Dean wants.

Discworld:
From the novel Hogfather:
Similarly, when the Senior Wrangler suggests that the mistletoe, while being genuinely symbolic, is only symbolic of mistletoe:
And earlier in Hogfather:
Susan again, in Thief of Time:
Rincewind and Eric, from Eric!
Yet another one, sort of, from Carpe Jugulum (paraphrased, without spoiling too much):
Death is fond of this. When Granny was presented a choice between the light and the darkness (long story) she asked him if he had any advice. He replied:
And another in Wyrd Sisters...
As mentioned in Hogfather, when questioned about the origins of life, the philosopher Didactylos set forth this theory:
Moist's wonderful use of this trope in a Bavarian Fire Drill during Making Money:
In Feet of Clay Vimes becomes very angry and hits a table in the Rats Chamber with an axe. The next morning, when Vetinari asks him what it is, he says "It's an axe, sir." Of course, Vetinari then proceeds to snark about how quickly he figured that out and ask the real question, which is why it was stuck in the table.
Earlier in the same book, Vetinari asks Vimes why he punched the leader of the Assassin's Guild in the face, to receive the reply: "Couldn't find a dagger, sir."
In Carpe Jugulum, Shawn Ogg checks if General Tacticus's famous book of tactics has any advice on what to do when one army is based in a well-fortified structure on superior ground and the other isn't. Tacticus's advice is to be the one that is. Though later in the series he turns out to have genuine advice on what to do if you aren't: If the enemy's got the fortress, you make sure they stay in the fortress.

In a parody of government officials avoiding giving direct answers, Stephen Colbert and Steve Carell had this exchange:

Same deal in EarthBound (1994).
In the Japanese Mother 2, someone asks you if you can name a cartoon, "Alps no Shoujo OOji." Answering "hai" is technically correct. If you reply "iie," they'll say that "Iieji" is just wrong.
In the North American localization, this is translated into "a Beatles song - XXXterday. Can you fill in the blank?" Again, "yes" is correct, and you'll get scolded that "Noterday" is wrong if you answer "no."

Sometimes pops up on Family Feud questions, mainly ones that require numerical answers.
On at least two instances, "Morning" was given for "Name a time that most people get up." On the first, the same contestant answered "Night" for "Name a time that most people go to bed." That got two points.
When the question was, "Name something Russia is famous for", one contestant said, "Russians".
On the Combs version, there was the question "What birthday do men dread the most?" Instead of giving a milestone such as fortieth or fiftieth, a contestant guessed "Their wife's" which got two points.
A Harvey-era question asked "How old do you think Joan Rivers is?" with a contestant answering "Old."

In The Order of the Stick, the Oracle's first answer to Roy's question "Where is Xykon?" was "In his throne room." Roy persuaded him to follow up with a more useful answer.
When Belkar asked the oracle whether he would kill "Miko, Miko's stupid horse, Roy, Vaarsuvius, or you [the oracle]," the oracle replied "Yes." It ended up being the Oracle himself, despite his best attempts to invoke Prophecy Twist by way of Metaphorically True.
Vaarsuvius does this to Haley in another strip. Oddly, it works as a Rhetorical Question Blunder, but still means "yes, I'll help you".
This is generally the sort of answer given when a question is asked about V's gender.
When asked where Girard's Gate (the Artifact sealing Girard's Rift) is, a deliberately unhelpful (but compelled to tell the truth) mummy does this. It first answers "in the Desert", then, when asked for ulterior clarification, it says "around Girard's Rift" (which the protagonists and readers know already, since it's sealing it), and finally, when asked where Girard's Rift is, it goes: "Between Girard's Buttcheeks."

In Persona 5, Futaba Sakura has a habit of this.
When her father Sojiro is shocked to see her come into Leblanc and asks how she got there, Futaba says "I walked." Considering that the Sakura residence is in the same neighborhood as Leblanc and it would only take a few minutes to walk there, Futaba's answer isn't too misleading... until you consider that until recently, she was a shut-in who was largely unable to leave her room, let alone the housenote That said, she was able to walk over to Leblanc to hand-deliver the calling card to the mailbox, but Sojiro doesn't know that, which is why Sojiro is shocked to see her.
In the official artbook, the female Phantom Thieves decline to mention how much they weigh. Futaba creatively sidesteps the question by saying that her weight is X, which is more than 0 kilograms and less than 1,000 kilograms (about 2,200 pounds).

Someone points out to him it is not in his bed, he is holding it in his hands. He realizes they are right and leaves. Still later, he comes back, sure he has figured it out for good, with NOTHING in his hands. He says, "What is this fish doing in my bed!?" Everyone says, "WHAT FISH?"

In the 2006 movie starring Steve Martin, a reporter asks Inspector Clouseau if they (the police) know if the killer is a man or a woman. Clouseau's answer is: "Well, of course I know that! What else is there, a kitten?"
Also, when he quotes someone about politics, Yvette asks him if he said it, meaning if he is the original author of the quote. Clouseau takes the question literally and, after bemusedly looking around for someone else, answers "Yes."

"Yes, I can," replies Amelia Bedelia, thinking that even though her desk in the last row, her legs work just fine. She then sits up straight in her chair, smiling. Mrs. Shauk, used to the workings of Amelia Bedelia's mind, smiles, shakes her head and sighs, then directs her "Amelia Bedelia, would you walk to the front of the room, and stand next to me?" and Amelia Bedelia does.

Tekken 7: In Eddie Gordo's story mode, he demands that Lucky Chloe tell him where Kazuya Mishima is. She hands him a piece of paper that has a drawing of the Earth on it and an arrow pointing at it that says "Here". Eddie isn't happy, even moreso when he sees Chloe running the hell away at top speed.

The Jolly Roger Telephone Company is an online company that offers bots which are designed to waste the time of telemarketers by using pre-written routines and otherwise responding with stuff like "Sure," "Mm-hmm," and "right." As such, any direct question, such as "Can you give me your credit card number?" (bank account number, etc.) will generally be answered in such a way, driving the telemarketers nuts, as the bots will say essentially that yes, they can give the number, but they never do.

Avatar: The Last Airbender: In the Grand Finale, a conflicted Aang calls upon the spirits of his four most recent incarnation, Avatars Roku, Kyoshi, Kuruk and Yangchen, to advise him on whether he should kill Ozai. All of the Avatar spirits gave a Mathematician's Answer of one sort or another; Roku's advice is to "be decisive", Kyoshi said "only justice will bring peace", Kuruk said to "actively shape the fate of the world", and Yangchen said "do whatever it takes to protect the world". All of these apply equally accurately to either killing Ozai or any number of other options that might have been attempted, though Aang regards them as being implicit endorsements of killing. In the end, a Lion Turtle taught him Energybending, which Aang used to strip Ozai of his Firebending and render him powerless, instead of killing him.

Borderlands series: Mister Torgue:
In Borderlands 2: Mister Torgue's Campaign of Carnage:
Mister Torgue explains that the reason he's always disorganized and was unable to find a sponsor for the Vault Hunter was because he was "busy suplexing a shark wearing a bolo tie". He then notices that "You may ask, who was wearing the bolo tie, you or the shark?". Answer: YES.
Torgue poses something of a Mathematicians' Question in the introduction to this campaign. "I have one question, and one question only: EXPLOSIONS?!" Under the circumstances, one could be led to believe that the valid answer is "Yes".
A question asked on his Reddit: "WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE TYPE OF EXPLOSION?" Answer: YES.

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine:
In "The Forsaken", Odo is asked by Lwaxana Troi if Odo is his first or last name. Yes, it is.
In a later episode, "Heart of Stone", we get to know that Odo is his first name. His second is Ital. (The Cardassian word Odo'ital means "Unknown Sample", which is exactly what he was to the scientists who discovered him.) Well, he was named on Bajor, where the Eastern name order is accepted, so it's still Mathematician's.

In The Pirates of Penzance, the Major-General wants to find out something about the men in piratical outfits who propose to marry his daughters:
This is also an ironic inversion of the trope, as the answer uses the ambiguities of language to provide the information he wants (that the pirates are in fact all eligible bachelors in good standing, being actually English gentlemen) while appearing not to.

On What's My Line?, since contestants were supposed to answer only "yes" or "no", the correct response to a question like "Are you involved in television or movies?" would be "yes". More than one contestant over the course of the run forgot this, and answered the question the usual way, to the panel's benefit. And more than once, one of the more comedic-minded panelists would ask something like "Well, which is it?" when the contestant did answer in the correct manner.

Props up a few times in the Mass Effect trilogy
You have Alestia Iallis in the first game.
Mass Effect 2 has one character who gives these sort of answers almost by default:
Said character also has a nasty habit of providing massively important information under the verbal heading of "Addendum:", which is kind of a mathematician's answer in its own right; yes, it is indeed an additional piece of information that you did not have a moment ago. It's also frequently something you would, ideally, have liked to have known before you did what you just did...

Why, the one who created V'Ger. It eventually turns out V'Ger's not giving them the run-around, it just legitimately doesn't know who (or what) its creator is.

On an episode of Garfield and Friends in a U.S. Acres segment, Wade is being his usual cowardly self, this time about seeing a doctor. Orson tries to reassure him, but Roy can't miss an opportunity to have a laugh at his expense.

Star Trek:
The Heisenberg compensator allows the transporter to get around the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. When asked how it works, Mike Okuda's response is '[It] works just fine, thank you.'

In "When the Bough Breaks", Wesley talks to the Custodian (a computer), after having been told he's allowed to ask of it any question:
In "Parallels", the Enterprise crew throws Worf a surprise party for his birthday. Picard asks Worf how old he is, to which Worf simply says "Old enough."
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine:
In "The Forsaken", Odo is asked by Lwaxana Troi if Odo is his first or last name. Yes, it is.
In a later episode, "Heart of Stone", we get to know that Odo is his first name. His second is Ital. (The Cardassian word Odo'ital means "Unknown Sample", which is exactly what he was to the scientists who discovered him.) Well, he was named on Bajor, where the Eastern name order is accepted, so it's still Mathematician's.

The Vazula Chronicles: Dragons are very literal-minded and often give these. In A Kingdom Threatened, Heath jokes that the dragon Rekavidur sounds like he's planning to murder him, and Reka replies, "Impossible. Even if I were to kill you, it would not be a murder. There is no consequence among my kind for dragons killing humans. Only for showing aggression toward one another."

In Carpe Jugulum, Shawn Ogg checks if General Tacticus's famous book of tactics has any advice on what to do when one army is based in a well-fortified structure on superior ground and the other isn't. Tacticus's advice is to be the one that is. Though later in the series he turns out to have genuine advice on what to do if you aren't: If the enemy's got the fortress, you make sure they stay in the fortress.

In Life, the Universe and Everything, there is the character Prak. In a court case, he was injected with too much truth serum, and then he was instructed to tell "the Truth, the Whole Truth, and Nothing But the Truth." He responds by telling them everything that is true about, well, Life, the Universe, and Everything. Everyone present had to flee, leaving him alone telling the Truth, however by the time the protagonists arrive he has finished, telling them that there's not as much to it as one might expect, that he has forgotten it all now, but some of the best bits involved frogs and Arthur Dent.

"You're in a balloon, you damned fool" is the punchline to "The Lighter Than Air Balloon".
From "Arthur Bunker Testifies": "You live there all your life?" "Not yet."
From "Not Just Yet": "Where is your wife?" "She's out t'the graveyard." (She died eight years ago.)

In The Search for Delicious, Gaylen asks a shepherd boy for information, but thanks to Hemlock's lies he thinks Gaylen is up to no good, so he gives answers that are as literal and unhelpful as possible. Gaylen asks him what weekday it is, if he saw a man riding a large gray horse wearing a cape, and how long it would take Gaylen to ride to the next town. The boy answers that it's a strong day, not a weak day, that he would remember seeing a horse wearing a cape, and that it will take Gaylen a very long time to get to the next town, since his horse is standing still.

In one Big Bang Comics story, the Quizmaster is trying to get the Knight Watchman to reveal his secret identity — by having him play 20 questions while hooked up to a lie detector, and killing his sidekick Kid Galahad if he lies! For his first question, he asks the Watchman whom he would be if he weren't wearing his costume. The Watchman replies "I can truthfully say that I would still be myself!"
The Watchman tries to give a similar answer to the question "Who is Kid Galahad, in reality?"; he manages to avoid the answer the Quizmaster wanted, but is forced to give away some information: "In all earnestness I'll have to tell you that he's really my nephew!" He had a similar smartass answer for the question "What are your secret identities?", but Kid Galahad escaped and took the Quizmaster out of commission before he could give it.

Spider-Man: In the Civil War issues of The Amazing Spider-Man (J. Michael Straczynski), Iron Man gives Spider-Man a lecture about using this kind of answer when dealing with lawyers, government entities, and other officials.
Also invoked when Peter is presented with a scenario where his powers are the result of him being chosen by a mystical spider-totem rather than a spider that was mutated by radiation; a shaman who was helping Peter deal with the aftermath of his latest crisis offered one of these, comparing the situation to the idea that the sun will rise because of gravity and mathematics to the idea that it will come up because it's meant to come up, neither of which have to exclude the other.

In Eragon (first book in the Inheritance Cycle), Brom and Eragon's first meeting with the witch Angela involves Mathematician answers as Brom successively asks her if she knows where the house of the person he is looking for is, and then would she tell him where it is, both her answers being in the affirmative. Brom and Eragon then stand there waiting until she looks up and tells them that, yes, she knows where the house is, and yes, she will tell them where it is, but they never directly asked her which house was the one they were looking for.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy:
When Zaphod learns that Marvin is waiting for them in the car park at The Restaurant at the End of the Universe (and has been for several trillion years), he asks what he's doing there. Marvin's answer? Parking cars. What else would he be doing there?
"42". For those that don't know about this, an alien race constructs a massive supercomputer in order to learn "The answer to the question of Life, the Universe, and Everything". The computer, after seven and a half million years of computation, comes back with "42". When asked about this, the computer responds that it is able to figure out the answer, but they need another computer to calculate what the question is. When this second computer is destroyed 15 minutes before its four-and-a-half-billion-year run to find the question completes, the programmers, afraid of the mob's reaction to this nonsense, just make up the question: "How many roads must a man walk down?"
Arthur has one in the first book as well:
In Life, the Universe and Everything, there is the character Prak. In a court case, he was injected with too much truth serum, and then he was instructed to tell "the Truth, the Whole Truth, and Nothing But the Truth." He responds by telling them everything that is true about, well, Life, the Universe, and Everything. Everyone present had to flee, leaving him alone telling the Truth, however by the time the protagonists arrive he has finished, telling them that there's not as much to it as one might expect, that he has forgotten it all now, but some of the best bits involved frogs and Arthur Dent.

Monty Python's Flying Circus had several.
One such example with a mathematician's riposte thrown in:
Another example occurs at one point in the Secret Service Dentists sketch, where Arthur Lemming, a customer in a book store, is thrown in a Spy vs. Spy dental-related imbroglio, where he has no idea what's going on (or so we think...) except that it's something suspicious despite the repeated denials of the store owner, while the whole cast is repeatedly held at gunpoint by the next entering character:
The sketch "How to Do It" features instructions for how to play the flute: "You blow there and you move your fingers up and down here."

Police Squad!:
A Running Gag where Frank holds a cigarette out to a witness or suspect and asks "cigarette?" The implication is that he's asking if they want one, but they always answer "Yes, I know," or "Yes, it is."
Another example, which appeared both on the show and in one of the movies. When the squad raids a criminal hideout, a pretty gun moll asks "Is this some kind of bust?". While looking at her chest, Drebin replies "Yes, it is very impressive".

Quantico: Simon notices that Nimah pins her hijab on the left sometimes, other times the right, and wonders whether this is because of her ambidexterity, or it has some cultural significance. Nimah answers "yes". This turns out to be because Simon actually saw her twin sister Raina, who'd pinned it on the left side, and Nimah tells her to always pin it on the right so no one notices this again. They're also opposite-handed.

The Left Hand of Darkness:
A lord once asked the Foretellers, "On what day shall I die?"; they answered "on the nineteenth day", not specifying the month or year. The lord's lover Herbor then asked how long the lord would live and was told "Longer than Herbor". The lord snapped, killed Herbor, and soon committed suicide — on the nineteenth day of the month.
Having heard such stories, a very skeptical Genly asks the Foretellers whether the planet Gethen will join the Ekumene within the next five years, expecting some coy wordplay. Subverted when they answer "Yes" — and they're proven right.

McCoy answers, "Aside from a touch of arthritis, I'd say pretty good." A single Klingon laughs his ass off while the rest of the courtroom is dead silent.

The third generation Pokémon games will let you answer yes or no... to the question of where your character came from. If you answer "yes," he'll reply that he's never heard of Yes Town. If you say no, he'll say that you have to have come from somewhere.

How I Met Your Mother dipped into this when Barney tells Ted about a special type of bingo he invented, and Ted tries to figure out the endgame, and Barney answers with an intonation like Ted's the strange one.
Barney gets it done to him when he tries to surprise the group with tickets to "Robots versus Wrestlers".

Babylon 5:
The Vorlons love this trope.
Everything that Kosh says is not exactly helpful:
In one case, Sheridan had asked what was in the random access hatch Kosh had led him to. Kosh's answer was "One moment of perfect beauty." Sheridan lampshades this: "Well, as answers go, short, to the point, utterly useless and totally consistent with what I've come to expect from a Vorlon." It turns out, this is a completely factual statement, though it makes no sense until you can see the context. This gets lampshaded again in the same episode when Ivanova asks Sheridan what Kosh showed him. Sheridan responds "Beauty... in the dark." Ivanova remarks that Kosh's lessons must be working, because Sheridan is starting to talk like a Vorlon.
According to the RPG, the Vorlon don't usually do it on purpose: their language is fully telepathic, and most of the usually deep meaning is lost in translation due them not being used at voicing it. Then again, sometimes we get Vorlon like Kosh, who is capable of expressing himself (relatively) well with a voice but still leaves out details, either to have people think and realize what he mean by themselves, because what he was asked is meant to stay secret, or just for the hell of it.
The Drakh do the same in season 4: "Drakh? Is that your name or your species?" "Yes."
J. Michael Straczynski himself has used it on occasion. (warning: link contains spoilers) "Was Kosh's line about Sheridan going to Z'ha'dum a warning or a threat?" "Yes."
At the Year-End feast in "The Parliament of Dreams", Londo asks "Do you know what the last Xon said before he died? AAAAHHHHH!"
When G'Kar gets let out of jail for his Mind Rape of Londo in "Point of No Return", he tells Ta'Lon of a revelation he had. Ta'Lon asks what kind of revelation. G'Kar tries this trope on Ta'Lon, who is having none of it.
