These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2017-10-23,
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 Smith & Guessin' 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 2017-09-25 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".
** Game 5, Round 9 - Science - The Periodic Table
The following is a round on the periodic table. The handout:
http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/g5r9/mendel.png
is provided to help you visualize the table and the elements'
relations to each other.
1. Each row in the periodic table is grouped based on its highest
unexcited electron energy level, similar to an orbit around
the nucleus. What is the term used for each row?
2. Elements in each column in the periodic table share the same
number of valence electrons, which governs their bonding
behavior. What is the name for a column?
3. The number in the top left of the each element's box indicates
the number of protons that are found in the element's nucleus.
What is this called?
4. The number just below each element's abbreviation is called
its atomic mass. What is the simple approximation to estimate
the atomic mass in whole numbers?
5. Please decode the rot13 for this question only after you have
finished with the earlier ones. Lbh jvyy abgvpr gung gur ngbzvp

6. There are a number of other trends that can be observed looking
at the periodic table. One such trend is an element's ability
to attract the electrons in an atomic bond. Moving vertically or
horizontally in the table, this value generally increases toward
the top or the right side. What is this chemical characteristic
known as?
7. Another characteristic for each element is the amount of energy
needed to remove its first valence electron, or its most loosely
attracted electron. This also generally increases toward the
top or the right side of the table. What is the term for this
amount of energy?
8. Elements in the far right column have no valence electrons,
instead having full electron orbital shells. Because of this
they are incredibly unreactive, almost always existing in
monatomic states. What is the modern name for these elements?
9. Elements in the far left column have only one valence electron
and so have a low <answer 7>, readily losing that electron to
form a cation ["CAT-eye-on"]. They are known to react violently
with water, but form weaker bonds with metallic elements.
What are these elements known as?
10. The light blue elements just to the right of the middle are ones
that demonstrate both metallic and non-metallic characteristics.
They may look metallic, but are often brittle and cannot
conduct electricity well. Collectively they are sometimes
known as semimetals, but what is the other name for them,
used in chemistry?
** Game 5, Round 10 - Tragically Challenge Round
This week's challenge round categories are in honor of the passing
of Gord Downie.
* A. Entertainment: "Grace, Too"
A1. What 1953 film is credited with launching Grace Kelly's
movie career? Her performance earned her a Best Supporting
Actress Oscar nomination and a Golden Globe. It featured
Clark Gable and Ava Gardner.
A2. Grace Kelly's last movie before retiring from acting to marry
Prince Rainier III was a 1956 musical comedy based on the
play "The Philadelphia Story". She starred alongside Bing
Crosby and Frank Sinatra. What was the movie's title?
* B. Science: "Little Bones"
B1. The three smallest bones in the body are found in the
middle ear. They are known individually as the hammer,
the anvil, and the stirrup -- but what is the collective
name for this group of bones? (No, don't try "ear bones".)
B2. There are a number of small bones in your wrist, including
the trapezoid, pisiform, and hamate. What is the collective
name given to this group of bones?
* C. Arts & Literature: "38 Years Old"
The following questions deal with artists and authors who died at
age 38. Name them.
C1. This Italian painter was considered one of the major
influences on the Baroque style due to his realistic
portrayal of humans and use of lighting. He was considered
a rival of Michelangelo, and died in 1610 due to an unknown
disease. Famous works include "Beheading of St. John the
Baptist", "Bacchus", and "Head of Medusa".
C2. This Victorian author died due to complications during her
pregnancy in 1855. Only three novels were published in her
lifetime: the two less wildly popular ones were "Shirley"
and "Villette".
* D. History: "Nautical Disaster"
D1. One of the worst nautical disasters in history happened here
in Canada -- during World War I in Halifax, when a French
munitions ship collided with a Norwegian ship. Name *either*
ship involved in the disaster, which resulted in over
1,900 deaths.
D2. The all-time worst nautical disaster in non-war conditions
occurred when the ferry Doña Paz collided with an oil tanker
in the Tablas Strait. Due to the illegal sale of tickets
and the vessel being overloaded, it is believed over 4,000
people died in the incident. What national capital city
was the ferry headed towards?
* E. Sports: "Courage"
E1. In the 1988 NLCS this player injured both his left hamstring
and his right knee, and many expected him out for the World
Series. He ended up pinch-hitting, and in the bottom of
the 9th hit a 2-run walk off home run in the first game of
the World Series for the Los Angeles Dodgers, who would go
on to win the Series. Name him.
E2. This 49ers Hall of Fame safety/cornerback had his pinky
crushed during play in 1985. In preference to reconstructive
surgery that would put him out for a whole season, he decided
to have the finder amputated so he could play. Who was he?
* F. Geography: "Bobcaygeon"
F1. Bobcaygeon is located in central-east Ontario on a short
river of the same name, which forms a part of what major
waterway?
F2. Bobcaygeon is now part of the City of Kawartha Lakes,
which for both federal and provincial purposes is in an
electoral district with a three-part name. One part of
this name is Kawartha Lakes; give the other two parts,
which refer to neighboring communities.
After completing the round, please decode the rot13: Vs lbh fnvq

In the original game "semimetals" was not mentioned in the question,
but the answer included a note that that term "is sometimes used in
physics, but is incorrect in the chemistry world", and this answer
was rejected on protest, though the reasoning given in response
to the protest was confused. In fact the specific periodic-table
rendering used for the handout was the one at:
http://sciencenotes.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Periodic-Table-Color-2016.png
and, as you can see, it actually labels the meaning of light blue as
"semimetal". I've decided to duck the issue by rewording the question
-- in fact, I was going to provide the above URL directly for the
handout rather than leaving the legend cropped off, but that would
have given away two other answers, so I had to go with the cropped
version as used for the original game's handout.
