This clue could be a double definition.

'question' is the first definition.
(a poser is a difficult question)

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for poser that I've seen before include "Tricky question" , "Show-off" , "This person's affected" , "Difficult problem" , "Hard problem" .)
