Can Flat-Earthers give an intelligent answer to this question?
How can observers in both Australia and Brazil both have to look to the South on the same night at the exact same time to see the constellation "Southern Cross"?
If Flat Earth is true and observers in Australia look to the South, wouldn't observers in Brazil have to be looking to the North? But, no, both observers need to be looking to the South to see the "Southern Cross".
How do Flat-Earthers explain that?

They don't have to give an answer to any question or use logic or think rationally. They just have to believe.

The Southern Cross, or Crux is a Constellation in the South Celestial Hemisphere
It is close to the South Celestial Pole
But Nowhere near as close as Polaris is to the Galactic North
More like the pointy end of the Plough
Sigma Octanis a very dim Star more fits that bill
However, Brazil is on the Equator, so Crux would appear deep in their Southern Sky
Austraila not just as far south, but very prominent as a pointer to the pole
It is nothing to do with a Flat Earth

If we walk on a flat level portion of Earth it does not really means we are flat Earthers ,we can also walk on top of mountains but we cannot walk on curved water.
The Earth is basically a lop side globe.The flatness of the globe is measured by its curvature.
Since the Earth has a curvature we can point to the center of the earth from any point on its surface.
Of course if we are at the north pole we face an azymuth and in the south pole we face Nadir.
However we can telescope the Universe from any position on the globular surface of the Earth.
The Universe is considered by science to be flat just like a pan cake That means its basically close to zero curvature.

You can not use the two words "Flat-Earthers" and "intelligent" in the same sentence.
It is quite impossible for them to give an intelligent answer. (to any question).
