I've just noticed that you posted several of these questions days earlier in riddles and also crosswords. Someone pointed this out to you saying that they had already answered a question you repeated and you said you couldn't find where the post was. All you have to do is go to your profile and then click on 'questions I asked' and you will find previous posts. Or, as I've done here, I clicked on questions I answered and it took me to this question from last Thursday.
