I didnt ask it for an answer. I wanted to see who would overthink the question and who would simply answer it. Thank you for your opinions.

One of my college philosophy professors once used that question as the final exam in an epistemology class. Two students filled two blue books. Most others filled one. Some wrote just a few pages.

The one student who made an 'A' answered simply 'Because' and left the room.

The professor never tried that one again, telling us that some questions are best left unanswered.
