I guess it depends on what you mean by "work". I think that they always work, but if you're asking if they last, I would say never. The point of a rebound isn't to have a lasting relationship but to simply force a change of scenery. The problem of course is that the other person involved is almost inconsequential to the rebounder -- they're just looking for anyone.
I don't think that there's anything wrong with a rebound relationship so long as the two have fun as it's really no different than a hookup for friends with benefits. I do think it's important that the reboundee be aware of what's going on though so that s/he can look out for their own interests.
Well for most people it can take time to sort out what they want in life after a serious relationship. Getting immediately into another relationship can cloud what the person really wants. Also the rebound tends to be more based on physical attraction or on a happiness that the person finds them attracted after the long period of time they were committed and may not have known if another would desire them.
So no I wouldn't rebound from a ltr. If you dated someone for 3 months and date another person, I don't think that's a rebound.
Yes, its a possibility but it depends on how long him/she ended their last relationship. I find that so many people just rush into the next relationship without healing from their previous relationship. You need time to grieve and figure out ways to grow from that experience... then you move on.
I would say rarely, since its based on the emotions of the person who is hurt from the previous relationship
I'm afraid not.
Rebounds are useless.

No they don't. You're just a stepping stone to their ex or someone they think is better. I was a rebound to a girl I had so much in common with and it still ended badly as she was acting very hot and cold and played me.
I highly advise against dating someone on the rebound because from my experience, you can end up in their shoes like you're rebounding from being a rebound if that makes sense. It all depends on how much you liked them but they generally end bad.
Is a guy you like on the rebound or are you?
In my experience they do not work. I have heard them called, "Transitional lovers" as they help you get over your ex. I have been on both sides of this. One thing I noticed is when there is not a deep emotional attachment either by me or by her, it is the one with the lesser attachment that is going through the transition. The next real relationship is not far away.
They can work, but are far more often the exception than the rule, it really just depends on the people involved.
They work because they do what they are supposed to do - get the taste of old puss out of your mouth, and remind you that other people, different from your ex, still find you sexually attractive.
But that's ALL they are supposed to do.
It's entirely dependent on the state of mind of the newly single partner.
sometimes they can, it depends on whether you're open to receive their love
it can turn out to be great, depending on how you deal with stuff in your rrelationship
