Why can I answer one question but not another when Yahoo! Answers is taking a breather?

There is this one question that I've been trying to answer for the last 30 mins. or so and it won't let me because it says "Yahoo! Answers is taking a breather..." so I copied all my words and stuff and bookmarked the page and decided to go on to another question which I answered and it let me answer it but the other one still says taking a breather. Why is that?
