It is "When" (how long?) ...?
Proof: The book "The Initiation" by Elisabeth Haich, the lady asks the priest moments before being laid to rest into the stone tomb.... and the reply was "3000 years" ! It did happen, and then we have the mystic book from the very same person! Such is the spiritual path... But for the category 'philosophy', this question could fetch "ultimate" number of questions as answer!

All questions are Ultimate to the asker.
Like for a 5 year Old why the clouds float
For 10 Year old how a motor cycle run and so on

In my view, the ultimate question must be one that has no answer, because every question that is answered invariably leads to another question and this chain goes on and on. However, since every question can always be answered, rightly or wrongly, it does seem to me that there is no ultimate question.... it is a continuum just as this entire universe is...... no start and no finish..... just the chain of transformations..... each question leading to another.

That would be the ultimate answer.

What's really going to happen after the Earth will turn into an empty nut? (analogy taken from the poem "On Living" by Nazim Hikmet)

Asking "WHY" is the ultimate question.

i dont know... because what is ultimate to a person might not that ultimate to another... maybe, the ultimate question, is at your last breath you ask, "is this paradise?"

It's the one that gets asked in the instant before the Universe ends.
Probably something along the lines of "Why is it so hot?"

The question which demads the ULTIMATE answer perhaps, such as why are we alive?

The unexpected doom when it strikes before we know it does not realistically make it possible for us to ask "why?" consciously but "huh?"instantaneously before everything blacks out.
