Question

What was the first question to be asked on socratic?

Answer 1

I think the first question to be asked on Socratic was this one https://socratic.org/questions/what-is-the-ionic-compound-name-for-nh4cl

Answer 2

There's no way of telling anymore...

Explanation:

For starters, It's true, this question

https://socratic.org/questions/what-is-the-ionic-compound-name-for-nh4cl

is indeed one of the first questions asked on Socratic. However, keep in mind that this is actually one of the first questions that were asked on Socratic that are still around.

A lot of very old questions were lost during the recent account deletion process, so chances are that the actual first question that was ever asked is no longer around.

So for all intents and purposes, you can say that the question listed above can be considered one of the first questions asked on Socratic, if not actually the first.
