what is the answers for the answers.txt i am struggling

I was in the same case, but trying some different analysis and answers, and I came across these answers which were rated "OK" on cs50 check:

Questions:

Which predictions, if any, proved incorrect as you increased the number of simulations?: Simulations with N equal to 100000 and 1000000, as they have values of countries with a 0% chance of winning the world cup.

Suppose you're charged a fee for each second of compute time your program uses.
After how many simulations would you call the predictions "good enough"?: Depois de 1000 simulaΓ§Γ΅es.

The funny thing is that in the second answer I wrote in Portuguese and it was accepted, but when I translated it into English it wasn't.

I hope it helped you
