Ultimate Trivia Team War (Round 5 begins!)

[Stephanie]

Can you tell us who sent in answers?

[Bangel]

Teams 1 and 3, again.

[Bangel]

-Round 4 is over!-

Team 1 scored 8 points.
Team 3 scored 9 points.
Team 5 scored 4 points.

Teams 2 and 4 recieve their second strikes. One more and they're out.

Question 6 does not count because a certain team, which will not be docked of points, given strikes, or mentioned by name, would not leave me alone about it. I have proofs for their answers and more proofs for mine. So it's just not counting.

A note for all of you- if you think there's a problem with my answers, show me NICELY. Do NOT ask all the members of your team to harass me.

Onto the answers. Once again- green means right, red means wrong.
