By the mixes for the chemicals.

Is it ok for me to post your name on the class blog if I post your answers to these questions?

I wanted to post a video of the scene from the Mythbusters MacGyver Special where Adam and Jamie try to develop film with some random acids and bases found in a cabinet, using a garbage bag as a darkroom, but I cannot find the clip.
