Can a question be an answer to another question and have an answer itself?

Yes. The question, "Why not?" answers the question, "Why?" and can get a whole slew of answers. I can come up with lots of replies to "Why not?"

Let's break this down:

1) Can a question be an answer to another question? Yes. Another way to phrase it is, "Can I answer a question with a question?" The question "Why?" is a good example. The answer could be "Why not?"

2) Can the aforementioned answer/question "Why Not?" also have an answer? Yes. That question/answer, "Why not?" can, itself, have lots of answers.

PROBLEM !!
"Why" is a RESPONSE to "why not", but it is not an answer to "why not". In no way does it ANSWER the question "why not"?

rhymer, then please rephrase your question so that it makes sense to someone. Your wording obscures the actual query.
