Made a couple updates in the OP that I forgot and corrected Searl's level.

[tris]

whee! my first top score!

[racefan12]

I actually thought of suspenders, but discounted it because of Haschel.

[Cheery Dog]

I think Haschel was the reason I even thought of them

[StrangerCoug]

Responses by tomorrow evening; everybody has submitted before the deadline.

[tris]

barely held on for that round!

[Datisi]

i wanted to be an astronaut as a kid, and yet i didn't answer that because i didn't think it would score, damn

[tris]

thank you for your sacrifice

[N]

I was going to say youtuber or influencer but then I thought about most people here are going to answer from what children wanted when they themselves were children, not what the youth of today want.

What

[Jake The Wolfie]

I may need to phone a friend on this one, and by phone I mean roll, and by friend I mean dice, and by a I mean your.

[StrangerCoug]

I now have answers from everybody. Expect results by this evening (U.S. Central Time).

Q9: Should daylight saving time (known as summer time in some countries) remain as is, become permanent, be abolished, become longer (but not permanent), or become shorter (but not abolished)?

Be abolished (9):

Cheery Dog, imaginality, Ircher, Jake The Wolfie, JerryArr, mallowgeno, racefan12, Searl, tris

Become permanent (4):

Aureal, biancospino, Datisi, N

Non-scoring answers

Remain as is: DeasVail

Irrelevant players

Charles510 (4): Become permanent
StrangerCoug (4): Become permanent This is what I get for lying and misjudging what the most popular answer would be; I don't support DST either

The majority of you want to be rid of DST, but since it's only DeasVail that wants to keep changing his clock, let's change it so he drops to level 2.

[StrangerCoug]

Q10: Name five countries that often experience earthquakes.

[Jake The Wolfie]

Me, tris, and Ircher are the triumvirate of psychics.

[tris]

i have the most points!

[N]

thanks for jumping on that grenade DV

[racefan12]

I definitely support DST, but I knew it wouldn't have a snowball's chance of winning here.

[Aureal]

Wow, why do you all love it getting dark at 4:30pm in early November? Do you like going home from work in the dark? DST is awesome and going back to standard time and having it suddenly getting dark an hour earlier SUCKS. The only thing worse would be it getting dark that early even MORE of the year because DST didn't exist at all.

[imaginality]

I'm right on your tail, tris!

That last question reminded me about this fun article about timezones.

[Cheery Dog]

If I have to wake up in the morning, I'd like there to be light, simple.

[Jake The Wolfie]

Wake up later, the strangest solution
