Was there ever a question that was too repulsive or difficult that it just remained an orphan and not answered.

There are many orphans that are neither repulsive nor difficult. Check out some of these.

Hmm, so there are questions that remain unanswered. That is a really rough feeling….

I believe that fluther.com has organized a support group for them..

Generally they are specific technical questions that no-one has an answer to.

Very few questions ever go unanswered, but there are some.

The list of orphaned (unanswered) General questions is currently only 7 pages long, while the entire list of General questions is currently 2552 pages long.

What would Oliver Twist & Annie’s kids look like?
There’s an orphan question, if ever there was.

@janbb: Or the occasional one about lesbian bars in Las Vegas. I was surprised that that one was left to flounder.

I remember a specific unanswered question but I can’t remember who asked it. It was about these odd strings in the sky. It wasn’t that long ago and it definitely went unanswered. Anyone know what I’m talking about and have a link? The unsolved mystery still gets me from time to time.

Oh, and that frizzer question by janets is still an enigma.

@Eggie I once asked something similar to this before. I just hope nobody here will have questions unanswered forever

@dxs I think that ‘strings’ question was asked by DigitalBlue.

That’s who it was! There are so many people with blue avatars that I lost track.

I used to look up orphans and answer them for fun. Except for technical questions I didn’t know the answer to. I always felt sorry for orphans.
