Meiyou bànfǎ is, of course, a common response. This had led me to consider having T-Shirts made with "MFB" on them, which would mean meiyou banfa with a popular English expletive spliced between the Chinese terms. Sort of like the "TMD" shirts and hats that people sometimes find here... My take on “zěnme bàn” is that is just about interchangeable with “how do I/we handle this/that?”.
