| "Appear weak when you are strong and strong when you are weak." -Sun Tzu. Not ironically...Zimbabwe has a grasp of the fundamentals. This challenge is brilliant given the timing. This whole US-Iran thing is de-escalating anyway. So, when we 'back away from Iran' as we were going to do anyway, they can play it up as a victory to intimidate illiterate tribal locals into not rebelling. It's all for a good laugh, but you have to admire the evil mind that came up with this. Always something to be learned.

| #7 Well, it is erb. Anyone who has ever played Bee/NotBee can sympathize. At the risk of touting my mad skillz as an open-source intel analyst (stop laughing, dammit!), the following were clues: 1) The #4chan hashtag on the Youtube page. Saucy pranksters they are. One of their greatest triumphs was to fool the mainstream media into thinking the common OK gesture is a symbol of white supremacy. 2) No mention of the story on the ZBC News website. 3) A bit of googling turned up the hoax story on a South African website. As Johanness Gutenberg said, "You can't believe everything you read." |

| #1 Looks like a hoax from a parody account. More 4Chan pranks? Notice the underscore in @zbcnewsonline_ which is missing from the real @ZBCNewsonline . |
