Is this the last question that will be answered by Google Answers?

No.  From resources that are available to Researchers, I can see that
some very answerable questions are begin worked on as a type this.
Also, questions that are asked today can be answered within the next
30 days, so there's plenty of time for for us to wrap up the work that
has been started.

I made three typos that I notice now, so I'll redo the answer:

i know you asked about the last one to be ANSWERED, not ASKED, but...

i was going to sit at my computer near midnight (PST) tonight, finger
hovering over the mouse button, waiting for 11:59:59.99999..., and
attempt to post the last question, but i figured:

1. i have to get up early tomorrow
2. there will probably be many people shooting for the honor, so my
odds aren't good
3. it's kind of a dubious honor, any way
4. seems unlikely that GA is necessarily going to be that precise when
they pull the plug
5. couldn't think of a non-lame question
6. even though he claims to have asked his very last question, i still
can't shake the feeling that the last question asked should really be
by bryan.

so, if it's ok with you rcade, i'll save $0.50, piggyback on your
question, and ask if anyone here is willing to admit that they plan to
try to ask the last question tonight?

Not tonight, Chuck, it will be 8 a.m. here in the UK so there'll be
plenty of time for me to check the score in the 2nd Test (cricket),
have my brekky, do my Crosswords, check my emails, etc., etc.

I always get up before 5 a.m. anyway.

So who knows?

It's like bidding on ebay when the serious buyers often emerge in the
last couple of minutes.

3am here on the east coast, so theoretically i could get up early
instead of staying up late.

but no, i think i will leave it to you, bryan.

It was always nice to watch the dumb comments given by non-researchers.
I asked the last question and also had the last question answered.
I also tried to raise the level of both questions and answers but
obviously without much success. I thought GA really offered an
opportunity to provide a GREAT public service but apparently I was one
of the few who felt that way.
