I just have to list how many times the references to TIME in the first ten minutes of Back to the Future. How many are there?

6Hi, welcome to SF&F! You should take the tour to find out more about the site and what kind of questions are considered appropriate. This seems like the kind of question you could answer yourself with a DVD and 10 minutes, so people will likely not want to do your basic research for you.– DavidWMar 28, 2019 at 2:12

4I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because it's a homework/trivia question.– MöozMar 28, 2019 at 2:38

4I'm voting to reopen because I think the question meets the criteria of "a specific problem with enough detail to identify an adequate answer", and because I think the answer could turn out to be particularly interesting if there are references that people miss on a casual viewing. Jose, what references did you see in the first 10 minutes? Are there any in particular that you are not sure about?– GaultheriaMar 28, 2019 at 2:59

2@Möoz - Trivia questions aren't off-topic here. You must be mistaking us for Movies:SE– ValorumMar 28, 2019 at 10:40
