First part of code works, but no matter the answers, it states 5 out of 5 correct

Check out this part of your code:

var answer2 = prompt("The average person does what thirteen times a day?");
if (answer2.toUpperCase === 'LAUGHS'); {
  correct += 1;
}

Remember, when you use 

;

this basically ends the statement. So in reality, it seems to me your code is being read like this:

//set answer2 to whatever the user inputs
var answer2 = prompt("The average person does what thirteen times a day?");

//statement that stops after 'LAUGHS')
if (answer2.toUpperCase === 'LAUGHS'); 

//add +1 to correct
{correct += 1;}

Is this what you want? Definitely not. But I think now you can figure it out. Good luck! :)
