Method

Each question was asked once, on the date shown, with web search on where the engine allows it. AI answers change from day to day and from user to user.

We list the properties named in each answer, in answer order. Lists are not exhaustive and say nothing about the quality of the properties.

Pages older than 90 days are re-measured or removed from search engines.
