4. One point for the correct answer thats it.
5. Dont edit your post once you've answered thats it, no more answers. If you change your mind you can post again. Edited posts will not count.
6. One question will be posted at a time with three minutes in between each posted question. Whoever answers first with the correct answer will win the point.
