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 2010-11-16 companion posting on "Five Guys Named Moe Questions
from the Canadian Inquisition (QFTCI5GNM)".
All questions were written by members of Five Guys Named Moe,
and are used here by permission, but have been reformatted and
may have been retyped and/or edited by me.
* Game 10, Round 4 - Geography - Tourism: Africa
The descriptions are based on the Top 25 Destinations in Africa
as chosen by tripadvisor.com.
1. Located on Kenya's eastern coastline bordering the Indian
Ocean, this tourist destination has become popular for its
exotic beaches, diverse marine life, world-class hotels,
and friendly people. Name the city.
2. Looking for a great beach destination? The Red Sea's warm
water is great for diving and there are miles of great beaches
in this Egyptian city for working on your tan. Ras Mohamed
National Park is located there. Name this "City of Peace".
3. This large game reserve, which is the location of the world's
largest migration of wildebeest, actually spans two countries.
The northern section, located in Kenya, is called the
Maasai Mara. By what name is it known in Tanzania?
4. The largest game reserve in South Africa, this national
park has practically become a synonym for the word "safari."
It is home to over 500 bird species, 100 reptiles, nearly
150 mammals, multiple archaeological sites, and a stunning
diversity of trees and flowers. Name the park.
5. This city glistens at the southern toe of the African
continent with sweeping sea vistas, hiking trails, and
wildlife encounters. On a more somber note, travelers can
visit Robben Island, the prison where Nelson Mandela was
held for 27 years. Name the city.
6. The two massive rock temples of Abu Simbel, one dedicated
to Ramses II and one to his chief consort Nefertari and
goddess Hathor, are located on the western bank of what lake?
7. Frequently characterized as the world's greatest open-air
museum, this city includes the Temple of Karnak and the nearby
West Bank Necropolis which includes the Valley of Kings.
Name the city.
8. This "Pearl of the Mediterranean" is the site of the Pharos
lighthouse, one of the Wonders of the World, and of Anthony
and Cleopatra's tempestuous romance. Founded in 331 BC,
today this city offers fascinating insights into its proud
Greek past, as well as interesting mosques and the casino
strip of the Corniche. Name the city.
9. The Indian and colonial influences in this South African
beach city can't be missed, and the blend of cultures and
architecture makes it unique in South Africa. The Golden Mile
is a destination for surfers, families, and fisherman alike.
Name the city.
10. Today it is a large, modern city, but this former French
colonial post still allows for a myriad of movie moments for
those who want to revisit love in the medina and old city.
Tourists to this Moroccan city are encouraged to visit the
King Hassan II Mosque. Name the city.
* Game 10, Round 6 - Sports - Board Games
In all cases, name the game.
1. This game, designed by Klaus Teuber, was first published in
Germany in 1995. Players build settlements, cities,
and roads to connect them. The game board is composed of
hexagonal tiles of different land types from which players
acquire resources such as brick, lumber, wool, grain, and ore.
2. This game was invented by a French film director and
originally released in 1957 as La Conquête du Monde ("The
Conquest of the World"). Although newer versions of this
game involve capitals and missions, the object of this game
is essentially world domination.
3. This game is a redesign of an earlier game called "The
Landlord's Game", which was first published by a Quaker
and political activist named Elizabeth Magie. The game was
redeveloped by several people, but it was the Atlantic City
variation of the game that would eventually make it one of
the most played games in the world.
4. This game was first created by an architect in 1938; he
called the game "Criss-Crosswords". It was rejected by both
Parker Brothers and Milton Bradley. In 1948, James Brunot
bought the rights to manufacture the game and renamed it
as well as simplifying some of the rules. 150,000,000 sets
have since been sold worldwide.
5. This game was originally published by Waddingtons in Leeds,
England, in 1949. The object of the game is for players to
strategically move around the game board in the guise of
one of the game's six characters, collecting information
from which to deduce which suspect murdered the game's
perpetual victim.
6. "Gold, Up 20." This Canadian-made game involves six
commodities that can go up or down, or pay a dividend,
depending on the roll of the dice. All you have to do to
win is buy low and sell high.
7. This game, which is set in London, consists of a team of
players acting as the police as they cooperate to track down
a criminal, known as Mr. X.
8. This game was first manufactured by Parker Brothers in
1955 and was devised by a sociologist. Players set their own
victory conditions (also called a secret "Success Formula")
before the game begins. These consist of a minimum amount
of fame, happiness, and money that the player must gain.
9. This game was originally created in 1860 by Milton Bradley
himself. The modern version of the game was published in
1960 and was endorsed by Art Linkletter. Players go to
college (or not), get a career, get married, buy house,
perhaps have children, and then eventually retire.
10. It is 1942 and the world is at war. The playable powers
in this Milton Bradley classic are Russia, Germany, the
United Kingdom, Japan, and the USA. A 25th anniversary
edition was released in 2009, and recent editions include
Pacific 1940 and Europe 1940.
