These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2019-09-23,
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 the Red Smarties 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 2019-10-16 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".
* Game 2, Round 2 - History - Concurrent Events
Round 1 was on current events, but Round 2 is on *concurrent*
events -- or, in some cases, ones that were nearly concurrent.
1. In 1843, the Great Migration saw 1,000 emigrants pack up their
wagons and head out on *which* famous wagon trail? Meanwhile,
across the Atlantic, Alexander Bain invented the first fax
machine.
2. At the same time as the construction of the pyramids during
Egypt's Old Kingdom, a continent away these extinct mammals
thrived on Wrangel Island, off the coast of Siberia.
Which mammals?
3. What was modern-day Turkey known as, when the Chicago Cubs won
their last World Series prior to 2016?
4. While Jack the Ripper was leaving bodies around London, this
entertainment company was founded in Japan, although they then
only made playing cards. Name the company.
5. The Palace of the Governors in Sante Fe was the seat of the
New Mexico government for centuries, beginning in 1610, or
10 years before the landing of the Puritans at *which East
Coast site*? (Two words required.)
6. American teenagers lined up in droves to see the first "Star
Wars" movie in theatres. That same year, Hamida Djandoubi
was killed in France, the last person in Western Europe to die
this way. Which way?
7. The same year that Commander David Scott was driving a moon buggy
around during Apollo 15, Switzerland changed their constitution
to provide which human right?
8. While the Brooklyn Bridge was under construction (and 6 years
from completion), a combined force of Lakota, Northern Cheyenne,
and Arapaho tribes won which decisive battle?
9. When Hiroshima and Nagasaki were bombed, this inventor was alive
to see it (although his brother was not) and was asked whether
he had any regrets about his invention. Who?
10. Oxford University had been teaching for hundreds of years before
the foundation of this empire, and continued to teach during its
rise to prominence and eventual total destruction by colonizers.
Which empire?
* Game 2, Round 3 - Canadiana Geography - Canadian Rivers
Canada has over 2,000,000 lakes and rivers, and 20% of the world's
fresh water. Here are questions about some of the rivers. All of
the actual named rivers that we ask for flow entirely through
Canada, though some may have tributaries flowing from the US.
References to the "source" of a river may mean the ultimate source,
via a tributary of a different name, which in some cases is in a
different province or territory.
1. This river is 4,241 km long. Its source is Thutade Lake and
its mouth is in the Beaufort Sea. It is completely within the
Northwest Territories. Name the river.
2. This river is 2,338 km long. Its source is Thutade Lake and its
mouth is in Great Slave Lake. It flows through the Northwest
Territories and Alberta.
3. This river is 1,939 km long. Its source is the Bow Glacier,
and its mouth is in Lake Winnipeg. It flows through Alberta,
Saskatchewan and Manitoba.
4. This river is 2,575 km long. Its source is the Bow Glacier,
and its mouth is in Hudson Bay. It is completely within
Manitoba. Name the river.
5. This river is 1,271 km long. Its source is in the Laurentian
Mountains, and its mouth is in the St. Lawrence River. It flows
in Ontario and Quebec. Name the river.
6. This river is 1,231 km long. Its source is the Columbia
Icefield and its mouth is in Lake Athabasca. It is completely
within Alberta. Name the river.
7. This river is 982 km long. Its source is Cat Lake, and its mouth
is in James Bay. It is completely in Ontario. Name the river.
8. This river is 1,923 km long. Its source is also Thutade Lake,
and its mouth is in the Slave River. It flows through British
Columbia and Alberta. Name the river.
9. This river is 1,375 km long. Its source is a mountain pass,
and its mouth is in the Strait of Georgia. It is completely
in British Columbia. Name the river.
10. This river is 1,609 km long. Its source is Churchill Lake
and its mouth is in Hudson Bay. It is completely within
Manitoba. Name the river.

Oregon Trail. 4 for Joshua, Dan Blum, Bruce, Dan Tilque, and Pete.
> 2. At the same time as the construction of the pyramids during

Mammoths (specifically woolly mammoths, but I'll say "mammoths" will
do.) 4 for Joshua, Dan Blum, Bruce, Erland, Dan Tilque, and Calvin.
Wrangel Island is not to be confused with Wrangell Island, Alaska,
which is about 1,600 miles away, and apparently never had woolly
mammoths.
> 3. What was modern-day Turkey known as, when the Chicago Cubs won

Ottoman Empire. (That was 1908.) 4 for Joshua, Dan Blum, Erland,
Dan Tilque, Calvin, and Pete.

Nintendo. (That was 1889. And yes, they still make playing cards.)
4 for Joshua, Dan Blum, Erland, and Dan Tilque. 3 for Calvin.

Execution, specifically by guillotine. (That was 1977. Accepting
either "capital punishment" or equivalent, or what the question was
intended to ask for, the specific method.) 4 for Joshua, Dan Blum,
Bruce, Erland, Calvin (the hard way), and Pete.

Votes for women. (That was 1971. I accepted "universal suffrage" as
close enough.) 4 for Joshua, Dan Blum, Erland, Dan Tilque, and Pete.
Constitutional amendments in Switzerland require a national referendum
-- in which, before the change, women had no vote. Even when the
change was made, it still didn't apply to all elections throughout the
country. Local votes in one canton were only open to men until 1991.

Little Bighorn. (That was 1876. Accepting "Custer's last stand".)
4 for Joshua, Dan Blum, Bruce, Dan Tilque, and Pete.

Orville Wright. (First name not required.) 4 for Joshua, Bruce,
and Dan Tilque. 3 for Dan Blum.

The Aztec Empire was the expected answer (it existed 1428-1521),
but the Inca Empire (1425-1572) clearly qualifies as well. Then, in
the original game, the Mughal or Mogul Empire (1526-1761) was also
accepted on protest, though its destruction was only partly due to
the British. Any of these will do, so: 4 for Joshua (the hard way),
Dan Blum, Erland, Dan Tilque, and Pete (the hard way).
The Ottoman Empire, however, does not qualify, as its total
destruction was part of World War I.
