Why does a question require multiple answers when there is only one?

Question

Computers

The bytes of a 32-bit word are placed sequentially in computer memory with the following values:

Display value:
1000
Value unknown from individual bytes
16777216
1

Answer 1

The answer depends on the architecture of the processor and can be either 1 or 16777216. On the x86 architecture, which is most likely the case, the result will be 1. Google big-endian and little-endian.
