It happened to me once:
Me : Hi i have a problem XXXX and i need your advice on how to do it. May i know does the company have any protocols or procedures to do this?
Supervisor : I am not sure. Maybe you should talk to the manager.
Manager : I am not sure lar... itu [put a name here]'s job lar...ask [put a name here] lar
That person's name you put : Hmmm... not me lar... who told you this wan... go look for Mr XXXX and he should know.
Mr XXXX : What are you thinking and who told you wor? Go look for the boss lar... [mumbling][mumbling]... * eyes looking at the spreadsheet and both hands on his head scratching *
Boss : oh really, i am not aware of it. Please go see your supervisor and keep me updated via the email, will you?
Well, with this kind of situation above, you should perform the following procedure to cut the looping :
1. Stay calm because by the time when you see the second person or third person you are in the above situation so do not go further. Just stay where you are and return to your cubicle.
2. Concoct an email that read this:

2. Concoct an email that read this:
Dear supervisor and all,
I have such and such problem at hand. How do i go about this? I have seen such and such faithfully and as recommended by you and they all do not know. Along the loop i was told to see the boss. At end, the boss asked me to go look for the supervisor. Moreover, he wish to know my progress.
Please advice.
Thank you.
3. Send this out and cc the boss since he asked you right?
4. Relax and wait for the response.
5. if your supervisor return you with an email asking you why did you send to such and such. Just reply : For their information only since they also do not know and boss also nak tahu.
6. If your supervisor or anyone provide you with the required information then just thank them.
7. if your supervisor turn out to be sour-pus and started lecturing you then just say, no one knows and you do not know and where is all this procedure could be found. Plus, telling yourself have tried all possible solution. Then say, "maybe you could help me out".
8. The end.
is sky the limit.... cut the loop man...
