Favorite questions and answers from the first quarter of 2015

Question

Please link to your favorite questions and answers which were either asked or answered from January 1st 2015 through March 31st 2015.

How do I convince meta this question is unique to the 10-odd similarly asked questions each quarter? Via the power of lies, damn lies, and statistics.

Your answers will be compiled into a blog post like previous quarterly posts.

I will be using DavRob60's queries for a baseline, but I really appreciate people voicing the ones they really enjoyed. Maybe you feel like you answered one really well, even if it didn't receive a lot of votes. Let me know about it.

Answer 1

My favorite questions (all Star Wars, sorry!)

• Why did Red Squadron give their call signs in random order?
• Why did Jango Fett have a son via cloning instead of through natural reproductive processes?

My favorite answers:

• The only answer to How big is the Executor, based only on film evidence
• This answer to During the war of the ring did Sauron or Saruman actually win any major battles?

Answer 2

I thought these were especially interesting questions;

Why didn't the machine kill Neo after he was ejected?

Why do people risk death by joining Starfleet if not for money or preservation of their homes?

Did Darth Vader ever talk to R2-D2 again?

And my answers to them weren't half bad, either, if I can toot my own trumpet.

Answer 3

I enjoyed this one: Why is 'Belgium' the rudest word in Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy?
Lots of votes and lots of reputation gained for everyone involved.

Richard got an awesome answer to this one precisely one minute before I did, and did a much better job of it than I did too, so it's worth a shout-out: Why didn't the machine kill Neo after he was ejected?

Obligatory blowing of one's own trumpet: Why would the elves help destroy the One Ring?

And this was enormous fun all-round: How big is the Death Star compared to the Executor
