Lower-confidence wave

2011 videos did not pass the QA gate (17 %); their analysis is shown but less reliable.

Hank announces the five P4A 2011 charities chosen by viewer votes, each receiving $14,269.22, then plays a Christmas-carol edition of Truth or Fail.

What is said

00:00:00 — P4A 2011 results: the five charities by votes (Kids in Need of Desks, Kiva split between operations and loans, Harry Potter Alliance, Water.org, This Star Won't Go Out); $14,269.22 each from the $71,000-ish fund

  • ★★★ Hank announces the P4A charities by votes: Kids in Need of Desks fifth (915), Kiva fourth (1,043), the Harry Potter Alliance third (1,393), Water.org second (2,000), This Star Won't Go Out first (2,224). — 00:00:00 · Project for Awesome, Kiva, The Harry Potter Alliance
  • ★ Hank credits an amazing video for Kids in Need of Desks, a dark-horse candidate that came out of nowhere, and praises the work. — 00:00:00
  • ★★ Kiva's share will be split: half to running and maintaining Kiva.org, half to loans for entrepreneurs in the developing world. — 00:00:00 · Kiva, microfinance
  • ★ Hank says Nerdfighteria knows what it's doing (of the Harry Potter Alliance) and notes Water.org was the one he suggested. (playful) — 00:00:29 · Nerdfighteria, The Harry Potter Alliance
  • ★★★ Each of the five charities will receive $14,269.22: the roughly $71,000 raised for the Foundation to Decrease World Suck divided by five. — 00:00:58 · Foundation to Decrease World Suck, Project for Awesome

00:01:27 — Most interesting comment from the last video, but no poster this time; Truth or Fail welcome and rules

  • ★ Hank shows the most interesting comment from the last video, but notes there is no poster in this video, so viewers should leave an interesting comment anyway. — 00:01:27
  • ★★ Hank plays another edition of Truth or Fail, a game show in which he gives two purported facts and viewers click the true one, this time on Christmas carols. — 00:01:27 · Truth or Fail

00:01:48 — Truth or Fail on Christmas carols: the PNC price of the Twelve Days of Christmas gifts vs. the song still being under a 1909 copyright

  • ★★ Truth or Fail option one: PNC Wealth Management yearly prices the gifts in The Twelve Days of Christmas, and this year the seven swans a-swimming were the most expensive at $6,300. (playful) — 00:02:18
  • ★★ Truth or Fail option two: The Twelve Days of Christmas, written in 1909, is still under copyright after repeated extensions and cannot be performed on the show. (playful) — 00:02:18 · copyright
