That helps.

Thank you very much. :3

Although, I'm still faced with my second problem, which I do accept probably requires an advanced programmer's help (not to say you aren't).

Whats the problem then? am sure not only advance programmers are capable of helping.
Please upload the project so we can see the problem.

Here's the link to the project.

To BetaSmozzick, sorry that I didn't explain the second problem in detail.

Take a look at the scripts to see if you can be cleared up. If you're still confused, just ask!

So whats the problem?

Pfft, forgot to say that. 

There's a question being asked, and the answer has to be y=mx+c, but this isn't a fixed formula per se.

"m" means gradient for whatever reason, and that's the steepness of the line the asteroid is to crash into Earth.

"c" means y-intercept, and that's the spot where the asteroid crosses the middle of the graph, so if it crossed -2, and the gradient was 3, the formula would be y=3x-2.

I'm just looking for a way to make sure the answer has to do with this, since the asteroid starts from a random location, so the gradient and y-intercept will be different.

The reason I asked help for this is because I haven't much experience with questions and answers in Scratch.

Bump.

Would you like the scripts for your project or would you like it more if I pointed you in the right direction?

Scripts for the project. 

Never liked riddles or mystical clues and whatnot. XD

It's oaky, though I have one last question; in your project, do you see you're whole planet, or is it flat-ish, meaning you only see about a 15th of it?

The entire planet, the link to the project is a few posts up.

Ah, okay. I'll get a script to you soon; right now my sister wants to video games with me.

In you asteroid, you had the following script:

when I receive [STUFFZEZ v]
show
go to x: (pick random (-240) to (-240)) y: (pick random (0) to (180)) 
glide (30) secs to x: ([x position v] of [hlep this one v]) y: ([y position v] of [hlep this one v])

Try using this instead:

when I receive [STUFFZEZ v]
show
go to x: (-240) y: ((pick random (0) to (5)) * (32))
set [old x v] to (-7)
set [old y v] to ((y position) / (32))
glide (30) secs to x: ([x position v] of [hlep this one v]) y: ([y position v] of [hlep this one v])

Now in your Earth sprite, you had this script:

When I receive [STUFFZEZ v]
ask [Hlep, we're trapped!] and wait

Try using this instead (or some variation):

When I receive [STUFFZEZ v]
wait (0) secs
ask [Okay, the earth is at (-3,4). (Enter)] and wait
ask (join (join [The asteroid was at x: ] (join (old x) [ y: ])) (join (old y) [. (Enter)])) and wait
ask [So, if the asteroid's path was an equation, y=mx+b, what would m be in elevenths?] and wait
ask [What about b in elevenths?] and wait

Now, in that same sprite, you had:

when gf clicked
forever if <(answer) = (right answer)>
 broadcast [You saved the world :3 v]

You'll need to use this:

when I receive [STUFFZEZ v]
wait (0) secs
wait until <(answer) = ((((-3) - (old y)) / ((4) - (old x))) * (11))>
wait until <(answer) = (round (((-3) + ((-4) * (((-3) - (old y)) / ((4) - (old x))))) * (11)))>
broadcast [You saved the world :3 v]

And once your done with all of that, I would recommend making the asteroid slower.

I hope that this helps!

Thank you!

Yeah, I found the projectile that was to destroy the asteroid couldn't calculate a position fast enough, so it stayed still.
