Is it possible to ask you a question you can't answer?

Answer 1

There are questions on WikiAnswers that don't get answered. There can be various reasons. Often there is nobody here who knows the answer. There are millions of questions on the site, with new ones coming in all the time, so another reason is that the question is not seen by someone who could answer it. Many questions are answered quickly, within minutes of being asked, but for others it can be days, months and even years before they are answered. For some questions, nobody in the world knows the answer.

Some questions are not very clear or don't have enough information to know exactly what is being asked. A question may seem clear to the asker, but not to the people trying to answer it. Take a question like "Who is the president?" Many countries have presidents, but the question does not specify which country they are asking about. The person asking may know which country they are from and the country they mean, but someone answering does not. They cannot assume which country the person means. People from all over the world ask and answer questions here, so it could be about the president of many different countries. So that kind of question is not answered.

People ask trick questions, to which there is no answer. People phrase their questions wrongly, so it is hard to understand them. So yes, there are questions that can be asked that cannot be answered, for lots of reasons.
