We get these all the time. Mostly from people doing theses/projects who want to locate statistics they can use and refer to.
They always get a polite reply, and we always direct them to appropriate sources of information. But I will always remember the schoolchild who asked us for help with their homework. They sent us the question paper and asked us to get our answers to the questions back to them in time for their handing in date!
And, no we didn't do the homework for them. Primarily because we didn't know the answer...

I never saw one that blatant! I always thought that if it was on a precise point that they might have had difficulty getting info on then fair enough. If it was a trawl for all the data they might need for their project, then we had much less sympathy. In most cases, as you say it would generally end up with us referring them to appropriate sources of information.

I think we missed the handing-in deadline as well!
