Bear's YouTube Quiz

[Guest]

OK.... the premise is this....

I will post a link to a clip on YouTube. It could be any subject whatsoever.

I will then ask questions about the clip. These could be history behind it, or observational things you will pick up from watching.

I will post an indeterminite number of questions according to what I can think of.

Hope it becomes clear.

Rules
1. Please answer ONE question from the list only.

2. If you are wrong or someone just beats you to the same answer. That is your go for the round used up.

3. PLEASE do not edit your post for ANY reason, not even for a typo. Any edited posts will be disqualified.

4. Have fun.

5. here endeth the rules.

No... but you can change it to #6 if you want. Just this once.

In that case I will go for #6. I will try to be more accurate next time
