Added query re: Target: Puzzle term needed

[William and Cynthia Carr <wccarr@IONET.NET>]

While we're searching for terms, I'd like a related word:  what do you
call the questions to which the answer is not the seemingly obvious
one?
For example, Where are Panama hats made? (Ecuador)
How many teams are in the Big 10 athletic conference? (eleven)

I don't think these qualify as oxymorons.
