Simply Jelly Jam's Thanksgiving [Video] Pop Quiz
Below are a few notes about the video:
There is a total of fifteen (15) multiple-choice questions.
Each question will display for fifteen (15) seconds.
A colored progress bar will fade completely, and a bell will ding when the fifteen seconds have passed.
The correct answer will be identified by a red rectangle after the bell dings.
A list of sources will display at the end of the pop quiz in case you want to learn more about these facts.
There's background music (from YouTube's Audio Library) to distract you because I'm slightly mean that way.
