I counted 15 passes and TOTALLY missed the guy in the ape suit!!
I counted 16, missed the guy in the ape suit and on the replay thought the trick was people were PRETENDING to throw the ball until the ape walking in. That was a good one.
The number of passes is not important. What mattered is that you missed the guy in the ape suit.
