Ten Answers to the Top Ten ‘Unanswerable’ Questions
When people have a question, they go to Ask Jeeves for help. But even Jeeves can’t answer everyone’s questions, which prompted Ask Jeeves to compile a list of the top ten most unanswerable questions.
Ask Jeeves has been struggling to compete with bigger search engines like Google, Yahoo! and Bing, but according to the Telegraph, Ask Jeeves still gets about 16 million questions a month, some of which, it just can’t answer.
In an attempt to answer some of those unanswerable questions, Ask Jeeves is about to launch a community section, where people can weigh in on matters like, is there a god? Or, what’s the meaning of life?
“Jeeves prides himself on being able to answer 16 million questions a month and has been doing so for ten years now,” said Nadia Kelly of Ask Jeeves. “But even we have to admit that occasionally there is going to be a question where there is no simple answer so we’re letting our users do it themselves. We want to encourage our community to get involved and come up with the answer to the unanswerables, whether it is funny or philosophical.”
Here are the top ten unanswerable questions from Ask Jeeves, and their answers.
