TASK DEFINITION: Given a paragraph about movies and a set of conversational questions and answers about the paragraph, say whether the passage contains sufficient information to answer the follow-up question. Say Yes if it is answerable; otherwise, say No. The paragraph has the prefix 'CONTEXT:'. Each conversation question has a prefix 'Q:' followed by the answer prefix 'A:', and the follow-up question has a prefix 'FOLLOWUP_Q:'.
PROBLEM: CONTEXT: As a writing device, it's far funnier to let the viewers imagination run away with the wild descriptions that Howard gives. Additionally, by not showing Howards mother, the writers are able to characterize and describe her any way they like, without having to find an actor who lives up to that description. Howard repeatedly describes his mother as having no neck, facial-hair that needs to be removed, and at one point, it was mentioned that she wears a wig. Howards mother is essentially a charicature of an overbearing, overprotective, troubled but caring, single-parent. Now imagine if we were to actually see Mrs. Wolowitz's reactions when Howard yells at her. Perhaps we would start to feel uncomfortable witnessing this coddled, well-off guy in his 20's, yelling at this morbidly obese, lonely woman. By not showing his mother, the audience can separate the charicature of the woman from the far less funny "reality." <sep> Q: Why is Howard Wolowitz' mother not shown in The Big Bang Theory? A: As a writing device <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: What Is a writing device?

SOLUTION: Yes

PROBLEM: CONTEXT: The Transformers aren't very well explored in the Michael Bay movies, so we'll have to judge according to the other (better explored) continuities. While the process of switching alternate modes in the movie seemed effortless, it might not have been. In other continuities the switch is either energy consuming or a major physical operation. So just changing to another vehicle might be a very expensive step that one does not take lightly. Also, the alt-mode seems to be a very personal aspect for each Transformer, which serve a similar function as clothes do to humans. They are a reflection of the owner, and once it is chosen it tends to stay the same. Transformers have been known to keep the same alt mode for thousands of years, which isn't really that long when you remember that their life span can stretch into the millions of years. <sep> Q: Why do the Transformers always transform into the same cars? A: just changing to another vehicle might be a very expensive step that one does not take lightly Q: Why is changing into another vehicle so difficult? A: the alt-mode seems to be a very personal aspect for each Transformer, which serve a similar function as clothes do to humans <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: What is the alt-mode and why is it significant?

SOLUTION: Yes

PROBLEM: CONTEXT: I think it comes down to one point - can one mind actively dream two or more states simultaneously. For the dream within a dream thing to work .... the dreamer in level 1 (Yusuf) has to dream the Pasiv (sleep) machine into existence, in order to allow people to go down to the next level (the hotel dream of Arthur). For someone to simultaneously be maintaining level 1 and be able to go to 'sleep' and maintain level 2 seems unlikely - you'd essentially have to be 'awake' in each dream state. So it appears for the dream within a dream thing to work, you need as many people to dream as levels you wish to descend. This appears to be why Cobb wants Yusuf to 'go into the field', as he needs 3 dream levels (Yusuf, Arthur, Eames) - and he does not want to be a dreamer himself (for obvious reasons), and Ariadne was a late addition to the team. <sep> Q: Was it impossible to go into same person's dream each level down, or did it serve a purpose? A: I think it comes down to one point - can one mind actively dream two or more states simultaneously Q: Why did they have to choose a different person each time they went one level deeper in Inception? A: For the dream within a dream thing to work .... the dreamer in level 1 (Yusuf) has to dream the Pasiv (sleep) machine into existence Q: Couldn't they have kept going into Yusuf's dream all the way down? A: This appears to be why Cobb wants Yusuf to 'go into the field', as he needs 3 dream levels (Yusuf, Arthur, Eames Q: How many dream levels are there? A: he needs 3 dream levels <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Is it possible to go further than 3?

SOLUTION:
No
