A group of philosophers are greeted by an angel.
The angel tells them, "You may ask me any one question, and I will answer it. You may talk amongst yourselves and consider what question you would like to ask."
They immediately begin considering what question they should ask the angel. One proposes they should ask him what the correct religion is. Another suggests they should ask him what moral compass theory is correct.
One philosopher considers asking the angel what the best question to ask is, in hopes that perhaps a second angel will greet them in the future.
They finally settle on this question: What is the ordered pair whose first element is the best question to ask and whose second element is the answer to that question? So they ask this to the angel.
"My dear friends," the angel answers, "the best question to ask is the question you just asked, and the answer to that question is the answer I am currently giving."
And just like that, the angel vanished.
