<br>
Those are 'dummy' questions that are set up in the 'new page' template that's used whenever a page is added to the wiki about a work of Wolfe's that's not yet been covered, as examples of the sorts of things that might be asked. The idea is that they should be replaced by relevant questions about the work under examination: but often the page gets added before such questions have been raised, and the dummm questions sometimes remain for quite a while.<br>
<br>
Anyone coming across the page is encouraged to add questions, or answers, themselves, based on their familiarity with the work. (Any visitor can edit the wiki pages, once they've created an account.)<br>
<br>
I think it was Dan'l Danehy-Oakes who came up with those particular dummy questions and immortalized them in the template… although it was a long time ago now!<br>
<br>
best wishes,<br>

Marc Aramini kindly sent me a link to the wolfewiki. I looked up the most recent Wolfe I’ve read, “The Tree is My Hat†. I found these questions:<br>
<br>
* Was it A or was it B, or was it X or Z?<br>
* Was it he or was it she, or was it you or me?<br>
* Who dunnit?<br>
* Did the Star Child really start WWIII at the end of 2001?<span class=""><br>
Does anybody know the answers? Does anybody understand the questions?<br>
