How long would the extension be for? I want to possibly enter today
Let's say Wednesday, same time (12 noon PDT).

Also, evidently some people did not understand that I meant the 1960 version of the film Ocean's 11. I am giving them a chance to resubmit that answer.

I probably won't get to scoring this for a while, so people can still enter if they want.

In honor of upcoming Mother's Day.

UP got his reveal going before me. Oh well, let's see who finishes first.

1. Name one of the 12 actors to play Doctor Who (TV series only, no alternative doctors, spoof doctors, etc.)

I never really got into Dr. Who, but some of you may remember my avatar series of hot Dr. Who assistants.

3. Name one of the 10 artists with a top eleven (by number of views) music video on Youtube (no "featured" artists).

I used this list:

Psy is on it twice; Charlie bit my finger once, so this one goes to 12.

Just for fun, here's the responses to when I asked the Doctor Who question:

1. On November 23, 1963 Doctor Who first appeared on British televisions. Although it had a few breaks in production, it is still going strong 47 years later, with the 11th Doctor taking over for the most recent series. Name any of the men who are considered one of the 11 official TV Doctors. (Note: Just to avoid any confusion, replacement Doctors -- like those who took over for a Special due to the death of an actor -- do not count. There are exactly 11 of them.).

David Tennant (10th Doctor) -- 7

Jon Pertwee (3rd Doctor) -- 3

4. Name one of the 9 members of the von Trapp family as portrayed in the 1965 film Sound of Music (seven children, the Captain, the governess).

This is the production I saw that inspired this question.

5. Name one of the 8 colleges or universities who have won the men's NCAA Basketball Tournament ("Final Four") more than twice. Hint: Only 2 are west of the Mississippi, and only one is a private university.

I'm not a big basketball fan, but I like March Madness. Ok, I just like filling out brackets because I do the same for the World Cup, which I have no other interest in.

The Huskies beat the Huskies (my parents' alma mater):

9. Name one of the 4 colors of the horses of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

7 When the Lamb broke the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, "Come."
8 I looked, and behold, an ashen horse; and he who sat on it had the name Death; and Hades was following with him. Authority was given to them over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword and with famine and with pestilence and by the wild beasts of the earth. - Revelation Chapter 6.

So what to do with the lesser questions? Answer and hope everyone else drops? Drop and multiply your penalty? Hmmm...

Five straight sheep, where I knew all the answers on three of them, is a new record for me.
