Hello Robot ;)

it doesn't, it is asking for "Your answer" to "What is the output of
"date -u +%V$(uname)|sha256sum|sed 's/\W//g'"?"

I compared two installs, an Arch Linux and an Ubuntu install, since you
could run Ubuntu even from a live media.

[rocketmouse at archlinux ~]$ grep PRETTY /etc/os-release 
PRETTY_NAME="Arch Linux"
[rocketmouse at archlinux ~]$ date -u +%V$(uname)|sha256sum|sed 's/\W//g'
cbcc[snip]681f
[rocketmouse at archlinux ~]$ sudo systemd-nspawn -qD /mnt/moonstudio
[sudo] password for rocketmouse: 
[root at moonstudio ~]# grep PRETTY /etc/os-release 
PRETTY_NAME="Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS"
[root at moonstudio ~]# date -u +%V$(uname)|sha256sum|sed 's/\W//g'
cbcc[snip]681f
[root at moonstudio ~]# logout
[rocketmouse at archlinux ~]$

The answer is the same, even if you would use an Ubuntu live DVD.
