Description
X and Y are unrelated questions. They are combined into question Z, which requires a single answer.
Example
Have you stopped smoking? ['yes' or 'no' both admits being a smoker]
Will you help me and carry this?
Discussion
The Complex Question often is arranged such that whichever way you answer the question, the questioner gains the advantage (i.e. a double bind).
Classification
