Horizontal align text in multiple columns

Question

I want to achieve something like this,

1. Question One             The answer to the question.

2. Question Two             The answer to the question
                            that can span across multiple
                            lines because it is long.

3. Sometimes the question   Only one line answer
   can span across multi-
   ple line but have one
   answer.

4. Sometimes the question   The answers can also have
   can have multiple        multiple lines and one thing
   lines.                   notice is that there is
                            enumeration as well.

I tried multicol, tabbing, multienum environment but can't do this.

Answer 1

A suggestion with automatic question counting at the beginning of the first column.

\documentclass{article}

\newcounter{questioncnt}

\usepackage{array}

\newcolumntype{N}[1]{>{\raggedleft\stepcounter{questioncnt}\thequestioncnt.\arraybackslash}m{#1}}

\usepackage{blindtext}

\begin{document}

\begin{tabular}{N{2cm}p{5cm}p{6cm}}
  & \blindtext & \blindtext \tabularnewline
  & \blindtext & \blindtext \tabularnewline
\end{tabular}

\end{document}

Another example:

\documentclass{article}

\newcounter{questioncnt}
\usepackage{array}

\newcolumntype{N}[1]{>{\raggedleft\stepcounter{questioncnt}\thequestioncnt.\arraybackslash}R{#1}}
\newcolumntype{R}[1]{>{\raggedleft\arraybackslash}p{#1}}
\newcolumntype{L}[1]{>{\raggedright\arraybackslash}p{#1}}
\usepackage{blindtext}

\begin{document}


\begin{tabular}{N{2cm}L{6cm}L{6cm}}
  & What is the meaning of life? & foo \tabularnewline
  & What is the answer to any question in the universe? & Of course, there is only one answer and the answer can only be \huge 42 \tabularnewline
\end{tabular}

\end{document}
