: Mekoshesh
: Nokev Shem Hashem
: TZelofchad
: Pesach Sheni
: Khozbi

Thanks, but... That seems to be a list of dinim Moshe didn't know, not
necessarily resolved by HQBH answering him. For example, qana'im pog'im
bo when it came to Kozbi was decided by Pinechas. Based on Torah already
taught, no?

In any case, of the 4 or 5 examples too, it could be that only one
had secondary effects, and the other questions didn't so much get more
completely answered as not have a possibility of being partially answered
in the same way.
