Please see get_post_type_capabilities() in wp-includes/post.php to see how
capabilities get generated from the capability_type. You're missing the
plural aspect.

Also, don't give meta capabilities like edit_question to a role. Those get
re-mapped depending on context to the primitive capabilities, like
edit_questions, edit_published_questions, etc.
