Why are you giving away the answers?

[JohannaB582339]

It says “questions and answers” this is for the trivia game. It isn’t the trivia game. 
At least that’s how the contest is presented. Someone correct me if I’m wrong

[Ivy22]

Thanks.  I reread it and you are right.  So if we post the question with the answer, why are so many people answering the questions if it is only for the contest?  My inbox is getting flooded with everyone's posts that include answers to my questions AND to other people's questions.  Not sure if I can go back and add the answer to my questions.
