Aniimo Theory Assessment Answers: Every Dr Lewis Exam Question
Dr Lewis gates every Institute promotion behind a three-question theory exam: 20 seconds a question, all three right or you retake it. Here are the six exams in order, every question, and the answer the game accepts.
Every promotion at the Polaris Institute ends the same way: back at the outpost, in front of Dr Lewis, with a three-question theory exam. He is explicit about the stakes before the first one: “To earn your promotion, you must also pass a theory assessment covering what you have recently learned.” The questions are always the same, in the same order, and this page lists all of them with the answer the game accepts.
Polaris Institute came from Astra to explore Idyll. What is our mission?
The countdown starts the moment the question appears. One miss, or one silence, and the exam ends there.
How the exam works
Each exam is three questions with three or four choices. You get 20 seconds per question, the countdown runs on screen, and you need all three right. A wrong pick or a timeout ends the exam on the spot with “Unfortunately, you did not answer enough questions correctly. You failed the exam.”, and the outpost offers an Extra Theory Exam to try again. Pass, and Dr Lewis closes with “Congratulations! You have answered enough questions correctly to pass the exam.”
One habit gets you through most of it: whenever a question offers “All of the Above”, that is the answer. The choices are shuffled on screen, so read the text rather than the letter.
The six exams in order
Each exam sits at the end of a Veinwalker Assessment section and grants the next rank. The practical part happens out in the field with a senior; the theory part is always Dr Lewis.

The other puzzles of Idyll
The theory exam is the only place where Aniimo asks you a question with a right answer. Three other things in the game look like riddles, and none of them needs one.

Bulbly Electrolinguistics
A side quest with no choice to make: you first need researcher Sayn's notes to talk to a Bulbly through electric current.
Hayes's signal means "lighthouse"
Once the Bulbly understands "waiting and hope", it evolves into a Veilfloat, and you can let it wait for your return or bring it along.
