*Man, being entertaining is really hard!*

- Lime, 5B

## Challenge

The fifth challenge (officially named Translation Madness) was to write 4-7 sentences about anything appropriate, then predict what it would be after being translated into 5 different languages (which were not revealed until 5B) in a specific order. Each sentence would give 0-1 points depending on how accurate the predicted translation was. It was then divided by the total possible amount of points that could've been awarded total, and then given a bonus or a penalty depending on the effort put into the submission. The goal was to have the highest score.

The original fifth challenge (called Categories) was to use a Scratch project GGB made to say as many unique colors as they could before repeating one of them, which prompted the project to tell them how many colors they thought of total, which they had to send a screenshot of to prove their score. Again, the goal was to have the highest score by thinking of the most colors. The challenge was changed shortly after the release of 5A due to concerns of cheating since it was impossible to know if one was looking up the names of colors while doing the challenge or simply changing the code in the project to say a false score, both of which GGB hadn't realized beforehand.
