dig into a deep part of your brain.
- I did the Star Wars one. It did not go well.

of information, some might say too much information,
about a specific topic. After the video ends,
I will ask you ten questions and you have to get
all ten correct in order to win.
- Can we do one?
- (FBE) So if you don't know the answer, you do
get one bailout that you can use at any point.
That bailout will be three multiple choice answers
to choose from, one of which is the correct answer.
- Okay.

some background knowledge in the subject,
then maybe it'll help me.

- Uh... no.
If there's numbers, no.

the other Harry Potter challenges we did here, so when I fail,
it's gonna be much more embarrassing.

Just put it into my brain. It's locked in there.

Question one: Harry Potter.

curse word in the Harry Potter films? - (whispering) Bitch.
(laughing)
- (FBE whispering) That's correct.

- Yeah. - (FBE) It's correct!
- Awesome.
- Joanne. That I actually remember.

On fire!
- Suddenly my confidence is up a little bit higher
unti I just lose this completely.
- Those were the easy ones. Here we go.
Let's get some numbers in there.
- (FBE) Question three: which two dead characters
were supposed to survive? - Oh, my gosh.
I'm gonna have to use a bailout on that one.
- Oh, my god! (groaning)
Okay, I'm gonna use my bailout.
- I don't know the names of the characters,
so now I have to use the bailout.
- (FBE) A, Lupin and Tonks, B, Tonks and Dumbledore,
or C, Lupin and Fred. - A.
- (FBE) Lupin and Tonks? - Yeah.
- (FBE) Final answer? - Yeah, final answer.
- (FBE) That's correct! - Okay.
- I think A. - (FBE) Lupin and Tonks?
- I think. - (FBE) That's correct!
- Okay. - (FBE) You did good!
- Crap! But now-- oh, I don't have it anymore.
God! Okay.
- I'm gonna go with A. - (FBE) A, Lupin and Tonks?
- Yeah. - (FBE) Final answer?
- Yeah. - (FBE) That's correct!
- OH! YES! Okay, woo!
- Lupin and Tonks.
- Oh, um... Tonks and Lupin were supposed to live.
- Lupin and Tonks. - (FBE) Final answer?
- Yeah! - (FBE) Are you sure?
- I mean, also a bunch of them-- a lot of people died.
It's really violent. But, yeah, those ones!
- (FBE) That's correct! - YES!
- (FBE) Question four: how tall is Hagrid?
- Oh, my god!
I always get my sixes and nines mixed up.
I'm gonna go with 8'9". - (FBE) 8'9"?
- Yeah. - (FBE) Final answer?
- Yeah. - (FBE) That is incorrect.
- NO! Was it 8'6"? NO!
- 6'1".
Wait, is it 6'8"? Is it 8'6"?
I'm gonna have to go with the lifeline or whatever.
- (FBE) A, 8'4", B, 8'6", or C, 8'8".
- B, 8'6". - (FBE) Final answer?
- Yeah. - (FBE) That is correct!
- YES! - (FBE) Nailed it.

- He is 8'6" inches.
- 8'6". I think he was 8'6".
- 8'6".

- 8'6" tall.
- Ooh, 8'6". - (FBE) Final answer?
- Final answer. - (FBE) You sure?
- Yes. - (FBE) That's correct!
- Okay!
- (FBE) All right, question five: in what language does Dumbledore
mean "bumblebee"? - Oh, god.
I was more set on remembering what that meant,
but I don't-- can I-- maybe Latin?
No? (laughing) - (FBE) That's incorrect.
- No!
- I'm just gonna have to guess here.
Swedish? I don't know. Swedish is my final answer.
- Oh, I knew it meant "bumblebee". I wasn't listening
to the language part. There's so many languages.
I'm not gonna even gonna be able to bull[bleep].
I need a bailout.
- Oh, shoot!
I'll ask for my multiple choice.
- Ugh! Can I use my bailout?
- I need to use my bailout on this one. I don't remember at all.
- (FBE) A, Scottish, B, British, or C, Old English.
- I'm gonna say British just because that's the first thing
that jumped in my head. - (FBE) Final answer?
- Final answer. - (FBE) Are you sure?
- Yeah. - (FBE) 100%?
- Yeah. - (FBE) That is incorrect!
- I thought so!
- I think Scottish. - (FBE) Final answer?
- Well, I don't like that [bleep] you're doing, but yeah.
- (FBE) Are you sure? - Well, I hate this, but yeah.
- (FBE) I am so sorry. It is not correct!
- GOD! I was too all in on Scottish.
I was so confident.
If you go back old enough, it could be both.
They're origins. It's all Latin.
I don't want to play anymore!
- (FBE) Well, luckily, you are out!
- It's Old English. It's Old English.
- (FBE) Final answer? - Yeah.
- (FBE) That's correct! - Hell yeah!
Okay, we're still in the game.
- I'll do Old English. - (FBE) Final answer?
- Final answer. - (FBE) That's correct!
- Okay, awesome! Okay, good.
- Old English.
- (FBE) Question six: what spell was George
never able to perform again. - The patronus.
- The patronus spell.
(sniffling) It's a sad victory.
Here's the confession. I didn't finish the books past
Order of the Phoenix, so I didn't have much context
after Fred's death to what happened to George,
so that makes me so sad that he couldn't do
the patronus spell afterwards.
- He can never do a patronus again because his brother died.
It actually is really sad.
- (FBE) Question seven: what is Edinburgh Potmakers?
- Oh... wow.
That was the one that had a lot of words on the screen.
Is it a textbook from Hogwarts?
- (FBE) That is such a good guess but no.
- What is it?
- Oh, wait, I'm gonna say it's a codename
for Deathly Hallows, for the--
- (FBE) Final answer? - Yeah, that's my final answer.
- (FBE) Are you sure? - Yeah, yeah.
Final answer. - (FBE) Correct!
- Awesome! Okay, cool. Okay.
- It is a codename that JK Rowling used for one of the books.
- (FBE) That's correct! - Yes! Okay.
- (FBE) All right, question eight: how many words total
are in the seven Harry Potter books. - 1,100,086.
...86, yeah.
- (FBE) Is that your final answer? - That's my final answer.
- (FBE) That's correct! - Oh, [bleep] yes!
- 1,100,086.
- (FBE) Question nine: what is the name of the book
that JK Rowling took plant names from?
- OH! Herb Makers or the Herbivores
or The Herb Man or something with "herbs".
I don't know. What is it?
- (FBE) Is "something with herbs" your final answer?
- Something With Herbs. - (FBE) That is incorrect.
- NO! NO!
- Okay, I know it dealt with... The Complete Herbal.
- (FBE) Is that your final answer?" - Yes.
- (FBE) Are you sure? - No, but that's my final answer.
- (FBE) That's correct! - OH MY GOD!
OKAY, AWESOME!
- (groaning) "Herbal" at the end!
- (FBE) Question ten: which two teams played
in the 1473 Quidditch World Cup.
- I'm gonna guess.
I'm gonna say Transylvania and Scotland.
I can't think of another one. - (FBE) Unfortunately, that is incorrect!
- Oh, what is it? What's the other one?
- (FBE) Flanders. - Ooh, I wouldn't have got it.
- (FBE) All right, Danny, you did pretty well.
- Yeah. - (FBE) You still missed
that last question unfortunately. - Yeah.
- (FBE) But how are you feeling? - This is way better
than the last one.
Like I said, it's because it's something I wanted to learn.
- I feel pretty proud of myself.
I think I got a passing grade and that's how well
I'm doing in college right now.
- It's way too much!
The long names and it is just so complex
and it's like different languages and I don't know.
Too many numbers.
- There were random history questions about the books,
where it was like it had this many letters
and all of this different random details that
doesn't have to do with the story, so I don't care.
- Some of that could've just sounded like gibberish
but I know what's up because I'm a Hufflepuff.
And... although if I was Ravenclaw, I probably would have
gotten all the answers. Damn!
