- "Was meinen die Experten?"

"What think the experts?" isn't proper (modern) English. You should use "What do the experts think?" instead.
Duolingo suggests "What do the experts mean?" because the verb "meinen" can be translated as either "to think" or "to mean". Either way, this question is asking the listener to paraphrase or summarize the essence of what the experts have said about the (unspecified) topic.

Well, looks like it's time for another game of Figure Out On Your Own WTF This Word Means.
