Nice work! You said that you avoided machine learning because labeled data is hard to find. What about unsupervised approaches?

Frankly speaking, I am a bit skeptical about pattern matching algorithms for answering questions. It would help if you showed some kind of stats about your algorithm's performance on a diverse question set. For example, you can scrape simple quiz questions (and answers) from quiz sites [1] and report back on the performance.
