I posed this question earlier but pulled it back because I inadvertently overlapped another person's question. My question feels snarky and a bad idea but I don't think I should get a pass or be able to pull a question back once posed (even if not seen except by a cat or two). So, once again, my question is:

5) Could the answer be a suitable answer (validly fit) for the previous round of 20 questions?

Just to make sure I'm interpreting this question correctly, you're asking if I was asked the last 20 questions, would I give the same answers for all 20? No.

No, the word is derived from one language.

4) Is it a mathematical concept? No.

7) Was this created or invented by mankind?
