I didn’t even understand what one of the questions was asking, so pretty sure I’m sunk.

One thing that should be said is that in tapatalk, regardless of the amount of dashes that appear in the PM, the first question is still visible as a preview. This as never been an issue as I've always known it (until this last one), so there needs to be some additional text to prevent people from being able to think about question #1.
Fortunately for the integrity of the game no amount of additional thought was going to help me there.

Screenshot so you can see what I see.

This....

I think Eric nailed it. Give them what you think is on the answer key, just like we all did during all of our school, uni years..

only person missing round 5 also missed rounds 3 and 4 which means we're not going to keep waiting an extra 24 hours for them.

If someone different falls a little behind then I'll kick in the 24 hour delay, but for now it means

DOUBLE REVEAL

Round 5 Answers:

EDIT: ANSWERS DELETED

we're at the point where less than half the university students surveyed got the questions correct. If you get any correct from here on out then you can consider yourself above average.

Edit because I realised that I put irtm's round 4 answers into round 5 and he still hasn't answered round 5. We're going to wait though because he's not beyond the 24 hours behind.

I shoulda known based on ease of questions around it that it’d just be a compass

Also because it said magnetic North Pole and sextants don’t use magnets

I guess I was thinking that’d help but really if he’s using sheepulator then that only hurts so I’m now a former numberer

I'm surprised nobody said Maris. I almost did, but then I remembered the film 61*.

Yeah I'm pretty embarrassed by one of my answers to this most recent one. I somehow talked myself out of the correct answer for a silly one
