    This seems impressive, if you use the supplied sample text and ask the questions suggested in the hint. When you deviate from that, however, things get weird. For example, with the same supplied sample input, try asking these questions:

    • What are posed?
    • What is this program?
    • Who is the author?
    • What is NASA? (This is particularly amusing.)
    • What answers questions?
    Mild Spoiler:

    Even better, feed it the info from the top of this thread...
