Unanswered Questions

Here are all the official Unanswered Questions from Wikipedia.

* How did Fernald (the Hook-Handed Man) lose his hands?
* Who leads V.F.D., if anyone? (The film adaptation identifies the Baudelaire parents as the V.F.D. leaders, but Lemony Snicket has never confirmed this idea.)
* Who was the woman who took the Denouements when they were children?
* What is the important object inside the sugar bowl?
* Why did Captain Widdershins leave the Baudelaires?
* Who died and who escaped in the fire at Hotel Denouement?
* Who was the mysterious man who offered the Baudelaires a taxi ride? (Many fans guess it to be Lemony Snicket himself)
* What is the question-mark-shaped object in the water? (This may be a reference to the final line of Charles Baudelaire's most well-known poem, The Voyage, which reads, "Into the uknown to find the new.")
* Who started the fires at the Quagmire, Snicket, and Baudelaire Mansions?
* What happens to the Baudelaires when they leave the island?
* Are Hector, Fiona, Fernald, Captain Widdershins and the Quagmire triplets still alive?
* What was the relationship between Count Olaf and Kit Snicket?
* Did Ishmael and the colony survive on the outrigger?
* What happened to, and what is the significance of, the The Man With a Beard but No Hair and the Woman With Hair but No Beard?
* What was the purpose of the passageway between Esmé's appartment and the Baudelaire's original home?
* Now that it is known that Beatrice is the Baudelaire's mother, and it is known that Lemony Snicket loved Beatrice, is it possible that Lemony and Beatrice had an affair together, for Beatrice writes in A Series of Unfortunate Events that if her baby was a boy she would have named it Lemony?
* What is the Great Unknown?
* Who killed Olaf's parents with poison darts and how were the Baudelaire parents involved?
* Is justice Strauss still alive?
