Subject: [PATCH] cooking_walk: find the answer box by type, not by name

The previous answer box is freed with QueueFree when hidden; when the next
question opens in the same frame the new box gets an auto name and the old
one, still named AnswerBox, is already queued for deletion. On a slow disk
this happened often and the test failed to find the variants.
