Answer 1

Q. what is the most unresolved question that plagues mankind?
A. What are we doing here?

That encompasses all the other responses here as well as many responses that are not here.

Q. and what is the answer (to the unresolved question), "What are we doing here?"
A. We constantly answer this question on a daily basis and throughout our lives. We decide what we are doing here or what we are going to do here, and then we do it. Collectively, after many of these questions are answered, we discover greater questions to answer, such as, "what is the purpose and meaning of all this?" "who are we really, other than the names and numbers that we are given?" "will the world be a better place in the future?" and "what is the purpose of our existence?". All these questions can be contained in this one question, What are we doing here? If you can answer those questions and similar questions, you can potentially accomplish greater things in your life than if you do not answer.

Hope this sheds some light on your question. Thanks for a challenging question !
