All but one ultimately submitted the correct answer of 463.77 meters, based on a coefficient of linear expansion of 0.0000116/C. The one different answer was 463.79 meters. This was based on a coefficient of linear expansion of 0.0000093/C, which was the value printed on his personal tape. I counted this as correct. Two initially submitted incorrect answers but later checked their work and resubmitted correct answers.

During the survey nobody was informed whether their answer was right or wrong.
