Ivory in chains

I wondered to myself, What is the answer? But that, I realized, was a Deep-Thought paradox. What I should have been asking was, What is the question?

So this is what I came up with.

QUESTION NUMBER 1
What is the question?

QUESTION NUMBER 2
Why am I looking for an answer?

QUESTION NUMBER 3
Who is Mantai?

Question 1 is self-explanatory. Question 2 is difficult to answer without the answer to question 1. Question 3 is perhaps the most puzzling, but with a nudge in the right direction it might - just might - prove to be the most vital question of all.

Here is my Random Video of the week(ish).
