and should be interpreted accordingly.
On each question you may give up to two answers, but if you give
both a right answer and a wrong answer, there is a small penalty.
Please post all your answers in a single followup to the newsgroup,
based only on your own knowledge. (In your answer posting, quote
the questions and place your answer below each one.) I will reveal
the correct answers in about 3 days. For further information see
my November 25 companion posting on "Cellar Rats Questions from
the Canadian Inquisition (QFTCICR)".
All questions were written by members of the Cellar Rats team and
are used here by permission, but have been retyped and may have
been edited by me.

Jane Jacobs.
> * Game 1, Round 3 - Science - The Human Body
> 1. If you sustain a Colles fracture, what part of your body
> is affected?
The wrist. I also accepted "arm" since the bone involved is the
radius. 3 for Stephen. 2 for Peter.
> 2. There would you look to find a tonsure?
The head, usually the crown. 4 for Marc, Joshua, Stephen, Dan,
and Peter.

The two upper chambers of the heart. 4 for Marc, Joshua, Pete,
and Peter. 3 for Stephen and Dan.
> 4. Where are the deltoid muscles?
Capping each shoulder joint. A small part of each one extends around
to the back, so I scored "back" as almost correct. 4 for Marc,
Joshua, Stephen, Dan, and Peter. 3 for Pete.
> 5. What set of rings do the spermatic cords pass through?
The inguinal rings. 4 for Stephen.
> 6. Where would you find the hyoid bone?
At the base of the tongue. I accepted "neck". 4 for Stephen,
Dan, and Peter.
> 7. What is the acetabulum?
The hip socket. 3 for Stephen.

Cowper's gland. (If you think the prostate is involved in this,
please cite a reliable source.) 4 for Peter.
> 9. It is a small, unique growth embedded in the brain --
> thought by past biologists to be a vestigial "third eye".
Pineal body/gland. 4 for Marc, Joshua, Stephen, and Dan.
> 10. What is the popular name for the omphalos?
Bellybutton or navel. Yeah, I didn't care for the wording either;
probably I should've changed it. 4 for Marc, Joshua, Stephen,
and Dan.
