The correct answers are:

5
7
14
18

Hmm. Difficult one to score this as Sideshow has answered precise answers some of which are in themselves incorrect, but which fall within the range which was correct, and had he answered with the range as per the question, he would have won by a distance. If I score those answers as being incorrect, then most got 1 point, but AC would win on tiebreak.

I'm going to say Sideshow, but happy to listen to alternatives arguments or have the ruling overturned by The Bootmeister.
