You hear a conversation between a university tutor, Dr Eleanor Price, and two students, Mei and Omar, discussing their group project for the MA in International Relations module. Dr Price: "Your literature review must cite at least eight peer-reviewed sources published after 2019. The draft is due on 4 October. The final submission is 25 October at 12:00 via Turnitin. Late submissions lose 5 marks per day up to a maximum of 15 marks." Mei: "What if our survey data collection runs into the second week of October?" Dr Price: "You can request a 5-working-day extension only with evidence of data access problems submitted before the draft deadline." What is the latest possible submission date for the final project without incurring any late penalty, assuming no extension is granted?
