Sometimes you wonder whether the person really needs the answer to a simple thing such as 'how much is 15 x 42' or if they typed the question for no reason in particular.
Another possibility is that simple questions are sometimes geared toward the younger audience, and contributors leave those for younger people who might find them challenging or interesting to answer. They may have been written by a young person for whom the question may not be simple at all.
Unless a question is obviously poor in quality, we assume that every question is serious and deserves a respectful response. We seriously frown on people answering what appear to be easy questions with a mocking or condescending tone. It's particularly embarrassing when someone answers with such a tone, and gets the answer wrong! Let it not be you.
You have to keep in mind, too, that answers to questions are submitted by ordinary users just like you. There is a paid Answers.com staff, but they concentrate on administrative and technical tasks. They answer questions, but the vast majority of answers are submitted by unpaid members all over the world. Those submitting contributions select questions that interest them.

You shouldn't need to be a member to answer questions on the site. If the question is already answered, it could be protected, which would prevent some people from adding to it, but unanswered questions should be able to be answered by anyone.
I am not sure why questions are not sorted on the site Answered. You should write the company and see why.
