I notice wedrifid still did not explicitly answer you, so for completeness:

  • What exactly do I believe? Why do I believe it?
  • Why is what I believe true? Is it true?
  • Whatever question was brought up by linking to "Ask whether, not why".

(Given the abundance of question marks, I'm not sure how that obviously parses into "three" questions)

And what Vladimir_Nesov meant by "both" was presumably:

  • Whether
  • Why
