Answers are resolved by means of a search engine rather than a community. This means that answers are found through simple search algorithms rather than based on knowledge / researched answers, so you're likely to get a number of false matches.
An example: The site includes a Question of the Day
; today's being What makes up 60% of the human Brain?
. Clicking Get the Answer
gives you a correct answer Sixty percent of the human brain is made up of fat..
However, type (better yet, copy & paste) that exact same question into their own search bar, and you'd be led to believe that the correct answer was water.
