    Well I didn't even know that. I have always thought it was dumb that such an important box was black and not some bright neon color.
    So why do they call it a "black" box? Now I simply think it's dumb that they call an orange box black.

    Didn't get a single correct answer, only I knew the black Box wasn't black. I thought it was red. So 1/4 point for me, right?
    No, wait, I had no 6 right. Canary Islands - have been there some times and had heard that one a guided tour.
