IANAQP, but your view comes close to Rovelli's Relational QM. It may not be entirely precise to say that your computer knows the "correct" answer -- it just know its answer. Yours still does not exist. Once you know your answer, its answer "becomes" correct (because you must agree).

(Of course, given that the very existence of the Geiger counter or computer may depend on which branch occurred (perhaps there was a bomb on one path?), it's unclear whether you are free to think of there even being an "it" that could have an answer, either.)

At the quantum level, the quantum degrees of freedom in the Geiger counter or the computer still exist even if a bomb goes off. They just have a different relationship in terms of interactions than they would if the bomb didn't go off.

Sure, something has recorded the state. It's just that we like to think of there being fixed, discrete entities that have knowledge, whereas really it's more like that knowledge is an integral part of their identity.
