These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2018-07-09,
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 4 days.
All questions were written by members of What She Said 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 2018-07-16 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".
* Game 7, Round 3 - Geography - Japanese Cities
Please see the handout at:
http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/7-3/japan.jpg
We'll name a city; you give the letter on the map. Ganbatte!
(That means "do your best.")
1. Tokyo.
2. Sapporo.
3. Kyoto.
4. Fukushima.
5. Nagasaki.
6. Hiroshima.
7. Nagoya.
8. Nagano.
9. Yokohama.
10. Osaka.
And if you like, decode the rot13 and identify the 6 decoys for fun,
but for no points:
11. Xntbfuvzn.
12. Zngfhlnzn.
13. Fraqnv.
14. Lnznthpuv.
15. Xnantnjn.
16. Anen.
* Game 7, Round 6 - Literature - Subtitles
Although generally known by their "first name", many books also
have subtitles which are often overlooked. In this round, we'll
give you the subtitle and either the date or the author's name;
you give us the book's main title. For example, if we gave you "The
Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up" by J.M. Barrie, you would say "Peter Pan".
1. "A Pure Woman Faithfully Presented", by Thomas Hardy.
2. "The Modern Prometheus" (1818).
3. "A Study of Provincial Life", by George Eliot.
4. "The Saga of an American Family", by Alex Haley.
5. "The Parish Boy's Progress", by Charles Dickens.
6. "There and Back Again" (1937).
7. "What You Will", by William Shakespeare.
8. "A Novel without a Hero", by William Thackeray.
9. "A Romance of Exmoor", by Richard Blackmore.
10. "The Children's Crusade: A Duty-Dance with Death", by Kurt
Vonnegut.
