Because

Some time ago I was working with an advisor who, when asked how I could further my studies, proposed the idea that I stop asking "why" as a response to questions or situations I didn't immediately understand, and learn to not only rephrase my response, but also to seek more knowledge on the subject itself. Because, really the only response to "why" is" because"...
And this answers nothing.

thats a question thats asked to make you think about your own life, pulling out your own questions that start with why. Like why are we here. but if i saw that on a test id say, "I have an even better question for you. Why what?"

I'd write an essay about how retarded a question that is if a teacher dared give it to me.
Anyway, in case you want to pass, the answer is 'Why not?'.

I'm sure that is an urban myth, but if it isn't then there must be a textbook answer. What are you supposed to have to write to get top marks?

I'd just define why:
"A question concerning the cause or reason for which something is done."

I would answer it as why people ask why to questions that they know in the first place....

i once had an exam where my teacher asked "true or false." that was it. maybe our teachers were related.
