Ah.. Philosophy.. the sound of one hand clapping.. the tree that falls in a forest.. If a man makes a statement and there is no woman to correct him is he still wrong? . Can you answer an unasked question? Many people do - You sometimes hear "I was just wondering about that" (or similar). . But that';s not what you asked. You asked if a question can be answerable if it's not been asked. . Now answerable doesn't mean anyone's answered it... or tried and failed - just that it is capable of being answered. . and that attribute is independent of who if anyone hears the question. Some can be answered, some perhaps can't. . This now leaves us with one last question. Can a question even exist if it has not been asked? Does "question" have an abstract existence before someone or something formulates it? . Certainly the concepts surrounding the question exist even before there is an intelligence to formulate the question, so in a sense it seems the question can have an independent existence .. . and therefore, a question can be answerable even before anyone formulates it. . but the real genius lies in asking the right question
