8.0 After asking a question, a player is not permitted to answer the next preceding question posed by the winning player. This rule is to prevent the game just being bounced constantly between two players. It may be overruled if the winning player decides to pass on his/her turn ('open floor').
Because you had asked the question before mine you were not permitted to answer my question. You can post, but you can't attempt to answer the question. Likewise when dirge asks the next question then I'm not allowed to answer his question.
