Well--despite the explanations, I still want to say, "What question?" However--IMHO, the answer could also be "unknown", because what if the question is referring to a post office drop box? I also see absolutely NO connection between the correct answer and the "fact" that the answer has to have the same number of letters as the number it spells. It's just weird to me.
