All 5 questions will come out on the first day. The round stays open until the Friday after posting. Sometimes the questions will be posted on Monday, sometimes on Tuesdays, this will depend on my schedule and commitments. So some rounds will last 3 days and some will last 4.
1 point for each correct answer, with an additional point for each day before deadline day. So if you answer on Friday and get one answer wrong, you only get 4 points. If you answer on Thursday and get one answer wrong, you get 5 points, 4 for your answers and 1 for a day bonus. If you answer on Tuesday and get one answer wrong, you get 7 points, 4 for your answers and 3 for a day bonus.
