  I didn't put a number against my "no opinions" but happy for you to log mine as 50% too.

  Does that count include Cvetka? I cannot use her answers since she misinterpreted the format.

  I don't see too much difference with the other answers:
  1. 100
  2. 10
  3. 100
  4.90
  5. 100
  6.80?
  7.70
  8.90
  9.90
  10. 1
  11. 100
  12.100
  13. 100
  14.80
  15. 100
  16. 0
  17. 0
  Of course, it would be better if Cvetka herself presented this.

  1. 30%. Voynichese text, or part of it, contains (semantic) meaning.
     
  2. 1%.   The contents have been enciphered with simple substitution or something close to it.
     
  3. 15%. The contents have been enciphered using a more complex cipher.
     
  4. 14%. The contents have been obscured, but not by means of a cipher.  (Sum of #2,#3,#4 need to be equal to #1)
     
  5.  10% The images match the text
     
  6. 40% The plants are meant to refer to real plants
     
  7. 50% The majority of the plants is exotic from a European perspective (Asian, African, American...)
     
  8. 50% The images have been made ambiguous or otherwise strange to conceal their true meaning
     
  9. 50% Alchemy is an important part of the MS.
     
  10. 50% Astronomy and/or astrology are an important part of the MS.
      
  11. 50% Medicine an important part of the MS.
      
  12. 70% The MS is the creative product of one mind, i.e. an author. (Taking into account the possibility that one or more scribes helped to fashion the physical manuscript)
      
  13. 60% The MS is authored by a known historical figure. Let's define "known" as "has a Wikipedia entry".
      
  14. 25% One day, we will be able to read the MS.
      
  15. 10% There will be a breakthrough in Voynich studies in 2024-2025.
      
  16. 60% The MS is some kind of hoax (i.e. the main motivation for making it was to deceive others).
      
  17. 100% Have (part of) your views about the MS changed notably over the last few years?  (This seems to be a yes or no question.)
