question marks; via iStockphoto.com

Whether it's tackling why brides buy outfits and grooms rent to explaining why drive-up ATMs have Braille dots and freezers don't have lights, Robert Frank has been guest blogging fascinating answers to the world's economic ironies for the past week.

Now, it's your turn to send him your most vexing and befuddling questions about the economic world. He's addressed questions from his students and readers in the past such as:

Why did kamikaze pilots wear helmets?

Why do brown eggs cost more than white ones?

Leave your questions in the comments or in the question box to the right and Robert Frank will address them soon right here.
