Would you like a kick to the groin? Of course, physically, you could say "yes" to any question under most normal circumstance. And there are a lot of questions you wouldn't reasonable ever say yes to.

There are no questions that you can't answer yes to. There are many questions that you can't thruthfully answer yes to (like Are you asleep? or Are you dead? or Are you answering "no" to this question?) and many other questions that you can't sensibly answer yes to (like What is the capital of Japan? or How would you like your eggs?).

If you ask me whether I am deaf or whether I am sleeping, or dead, or whatever, I still can answer "yes". I would be lying though.
