The provided passages do not explicitly list questions that remain unanswered within the book "Adaptive Thinking: Rationality in the Real World."

However, the passages do introduce several topics and questions that are explored within the book. These include: where new ideas come from, what constitutes social intelligence, and why social scientists might perform "mindless statistical rituals" [Passage 2].
