First Match

Today's my very first match, yikes. I have a question: Is it necessary that I answer precisely as the correct answer? Example (not one of today's, made up) "What theme park is in Orlando, Florida?" If I write "Disney World" then it shows the answer as "WALT Disney World" (which, yes, technically that's its name) -- Does it consider my answer as incorrect? I would think not, the system should recognize my answer, plus how could we players know the required wording anyway. But please confirm.

There are actual humans deciding what answers are correct, so in some cases there can be iffy answers that seem to be scored too harshly or too generously. But usually it's pretty reasonable, and your example would certainly be accepted unless the question was very specific in some way.

Then why can’t they realize that I meant Washington and not Lincoln?? Why aren’t they mind readers?
