Yes AND No according to quantum uncertainty theory, if applied to macroscopic reality. The cat's state will not be settled until an observer looks inside.

Q: Is the cat alive or dead? A: Both - the box is still sealed.
Excellent, thoughtful interpretation of the challenge... however, in it's current state, it does not have a yes or no answer :)
Kudos to sticking to theme. Its so simple yet brilliant. It has perspective, prefect color palette, tells a fair amount of story. Thanks for not mentioning/showing the cat :)
#1.
I probably would have left out the claw marks, but you have to lead others fairly strongly or they'll miss the obvious reference. This was the best idea in the challenge, and to be frank, I'm kind of disappointed I didn't think of it having a PhD in physics.
Answering the question we'd have to peek inside, but we'll only see one of the superpositions.
Should be the winner as it is perfectly reflects the challenge. Also, it is so far beyond the average contribution in this challenge, it should win by default.
