These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2017-03-13,
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 to the newsgroup in a single followup,
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.
All questions were written by members of 5 Easy Pieces and are
used here by permission, but have been reformatted and may have
been retyped and/or edited by me. For further information see
my 2016-11-26 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".
* Game 8, Round 7 - Science - Chemical Bonds
Here is a round on the types of chemical bonds -- a real science round!
1. In the simplest of the chemical bonds, one or more electrons are
equally shared by two nuclei. It can be single, double, triple,
or higher, although this is rare. Name this type of bond.
2. In this type of bond, an electron is transferred, resulting
in a negative charge in one atom and a positive in the other.
The bond then results from the electrostatic charge between
atoms. Name this type of bond.
3. In this type of bond, each atom donates one or more electrons
to be shared. Each electron is free to associate with many
atoms at once. The bond occurs due to the atoms being somewhat
positively charged while the electrons are attracted to many
atoms. Name the bond.
4. This type of bond is named for the element involved in it. It is
a very strong bond due to the difference in electronegativities
between the element and the others it is paired with. It is
responsible for the high boiling temperatures of many liquids.
Name the element.
5. A bent bond is a special type of bonding that accommodates a
specific geometry. It is found in organic compounds. What fruit
is also a name of this type of bond?
6. A peptide bond is formed between two molecules when the carboxyl
group of one reacts with the amino group of another. This also
causes what substance to be produced? Hint: The reaction is
known as a condensation reaction.
7. This chemist and Vitamin C enthusiast developed the
hybridization theory of bonding in 1931. Name him.
Please decode the rot13 for questions #8-10 only after you have
finished with the rest of the round.

* Game 8, Round 8 - Arts and Literature - Living with Design
Here is a round about people and ideas that shaped the look of our
world, including industrial designers, architects, car stylists,
clothing, and interior designers.
1. This British designer invented the cyclonic vacuum cleaner and
bladeless fan. Who is he?
2. This renowned architect, a Toronto native, has famously designed
radical public buildings that often look like balled-up
crumpled paper. Who is he?
3. In 1948, General Motors chief stylist Harley Earl started a
worldwide styling trend by putting this feature on one of
GM's makes. What was it?
4. After World War II, this French dress designer shocked the
fashion world with his new creations that featured long skirts
called "The New Look". Who was he?
5. Jamie Reid, an English graphic designer, used the Dada "cut-up"
concept to design numerous album covers associated with a new
music trend in the 1970s. Name this music trend.
6. This French architect in the 1920s championed a futuristic city
of identical skyscrapers in parks with separated auto
and pedestrian traffic. He called this the Radiant City.
Although never built, it influenced many North American public
housing projects. Who was he?
7. What is the science of making products conform to human behavior
and actions through study and collection of data to make them
easier to use?
8. Two Chicago architects of the late 19th and early 20th centuries
claim the title "Father of the Skyscraper". Name either one.
9. A new industrial design and architectural style expressing
modernity emerged from Paris in the 1920s and was soon applied
worldwide. What is it known as?
10. This clothing designer born in the Bronx in 1939 has built an
international empire specializing in upscale sports clothes for
men and women. He's also famous for his collection of vintage
and rare automobiles. Who is he?

Tail fins. I accepted "fins". 4 for Dan Tilque, Bruce, Marc,
Pete, and Calvin. 3 for Dan Blum.

Le Corbusier. (Also accepting his real name, Charles-Édouard
Jeanneret.) 4 for Joshua, Bruce, Erland, and Calvin.

The original expected answers were Louis Sullivan and William LeBaron
Jenney. A protest pointed out that John Root and Daniel Burnham also
have a claim. I'm accepting any one of the four names. 4 for Pete.
> 9. A new industrial design and architectural style expressing

Art deco. 4 for Dan Tilque, Peter, Joshua, Bruce, Marc, Erland,
Pete, and Calvin.
Art nouveau was a decent guess, but it originated in England (though
I think it saw greater expression in Paris) and, more important, it
preceded art deco by a generation or so. Personally, I like both
of 'em.
