However, if one saw three pairs of jeans walking down the street (presumably filled with three different people), then that would be THREE pairs of jeans, rather than SIX!
Yet.....looking over your post, I see only three (3) enumerated questions, but you say you have a pair of questions.

Aaargh! My maths are crying!
Let me see. "Pair" is just a set of two things together. If we count the question marks, we find that there are four of them, so we can assume that I have made two pairs of questions. Anyway, the pair of questions at point 2 are, in fact, the same, so we can consider them as only one (question). And if we consider that we are talking about questions, and not about jeans, we can say that I have not made a pair of questions, or two pairs (four questions), or even three pairs (six questions), but three questions, that is a pair and a half of questions.
