But when they handed them the actual battery, wire & lightbulb, almost all of them were unable to do it.

USA is so fucked
So, they go through (like "journalists" do) and interview let's say 500 people. They then choose the 100 that they think best sells advertising to the people who watch their show.

Been to Broadcast school, I know how it works. Try again sammy. Or grow a mind of your own, preferrably one not itching insanely with jealousy over the enigmatic American genius that the rest of the world consistently underestimates.

By the way ULVideo, yes just one wire. You ground the threads to the negative post directly, and feed the positive to the end of the bulb using the wire. Or the other way around. Or the inverse would probably also work. That's at least 3 ways to do it.
