I got stuck here for awhile I got a data related to percentage of full-time degree-seeking with 82.1% at this year but question need an accurate degree so, I got an hint with only website.

After that I did my best to find percentage but site didn’t offer the Champlain profile’s data and here what came in my mind was searching in “Web Archive” see here

Here we go, the answer is : 82.5%

Same stuck as previous question and I got hint. Here I checked if site had archive web with “Web Archive”.

I searched with main url in this specific date and The Information Commons is now the library so, I saw this

After I accessed this project link I got this

I downloaded it and calculated its hash with sha256 hash.

Here we go, the answer is : f4952b314eb15acf0eec79c954f83881c17d50d2b5922ee37e8fc5e5cd1aeac2

Seventh Question: In 2019 UVM’s Ichthyology Class Had to Name their fish for class. Can you find out what the last person on the public roster named their fish?

Here creator of challenge must change this question because the main web page they wanted us to search for it it didn’t appear after googling it.

So, I got hint for the url and I searched for it in “Web Archive”.
