We don't know the answer to either one but as least the question is clear so in that sense they are easy. But nobody even knows what the "hard" question of consciousness is much less have a answer, by that I mean nobody even knows the general form an answer would take that would allow people like Bruno to say it has been solved. For example, if I discovered a new stable particle that was so numerous that its mass added up to 5 times the mass of all normal baryonic matter in the universe then the Dark Matter question would be answered; and if it can be proven that Einstein's Cosmological Constant exists and exerts a negative pressure then the Dark Energy question will be answered. But what would allow you to say the hard question of consciousness has been answered? I have no idea because the question has not been stated clearly.
