So what is Best of 2008?

Best of 2008 is a contest that helps us pick the best and most helpful questions Answerers like you have asked on the site over the past 11 months. The Answers team will nominate 10 Questions from 5 categories over the next week: Arts and Humanities, Environment, Science and Mathematics, Sports and Travel.

You get to pick out the best question from among the 10 nominees. The question most picked will be declared Best of 2008 in that particular category. And the Answerer who has asked the question will win many Yahoo! goodies!

1. Go through the 10 questions (given below) from the Arts and Humanities category.
2. Pick the best question among the 10.
3. Leave us a comment on the blog with the question that you nominate!  E.g. My pick is, Question 1, What is the definition of life?

And now here are the Best of 2008 nominations from the Arts and Humanities category:
