These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2018-06-11,
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 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 4, Round 4 - Science - Geological Eras
Beginning with the cooling of the Earth's crust, the prehistory
of the planet may be divided into ten eras:
| Era | Years ago
------------------------------------------------------
| Eoarchean | 4,000,000,000 - 3,600,000,000
| Paleoarchean | 3,600,000,000 - 3,200,000,000
| Mesoarchean | 3,200,000,000 - 2,800,000,000
| Neoarchean | 2,800,000,000 - 2,500,000,000
| Paleoproterozoic | 2,500,000,000 - 1,600,000,000
| Mesoproterozoic | 1,600,000,000 - 1,000,000,000
| Neoproterozoic | 1,000,000,000 - 541,000,000
| Paleozoic | 541,000,000 - 251,000,000
| Mesozoic | 251,000,000 - 66,000,000
| Cenozoic | 66,000,000 - 0
We name a geological or biological event, and you name the era
(from the handout table) when scientists believe it happened.
*Note*: Answers may repeat.
1. Antarctica moves into its current position above the South Pole.
2. The supercontinent Pangaea breaks apart into two parts, Laurasia
and Gondwanaland.
3. The supercontinent Columbia breaks up; the supercontinent
Rodinia forms.
4. The oldest fossil records of life still existing are formed.
5. Dinosaurs evolve and go extinct.
6. The Oxygen Catastrophe: rapid oxygenation of Earth's atmosphere
results in the first major mass extinction on Earth.
7. The other largest extinction event in Earth's history, it
included the only known mass extinction of insects.
8. Vaalbara, the first supercontinent, breaks up.
9. Appearance of the first living creatures on land.
10. First appearance of coniferous trees.
* Game 4, Round 5 - Audio - Tony Award Winners for Best New Musical
It's an audio round without the audio.
The Tony Awards were last night, and Best New Musical is probably
the most prestigious trophy to be won there, so here are clips from
10 musicals that won the big one. (Instead of audio, of course,
I'll provide lyrics here -- let's make it 6 lines from each song --
not necessarily the same part of the song heard in the original
game.) For each one we'll also tell you the composer and the year
it won the Tony; you name the show.
1. 1949, Cole Porter:
Brush up your Shakespeare,
And the women you will wow.
Just declaim a few lines from Othella,
And they'll think you're a hell of a fella.
If your blonde won't respond when you flatter 'er,
Tell her what Tony told Cleopatterer.
2. 1951, Frank Loesser:
The people all said:
"Sit down, sit down you're rockin' the boat
And the devil will drag you under
By the sharp lapel of your checkered coat.
Sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down,
Sit down you're rocking the boat."
3. 1975, Charlie Smalls:
Come on, ease on down,
Ease on down the road.
Don't you carry nothing
That might be a load.
Come on, ease on down,
Ease on down, down the road.
4. 1988, Andrew Lloyd Webber:
Masquerade!
You can fool any friend who ever knew you!
Masquerade!
Leering satyrs, peering eyes...
Masquerade!
Run and hide -- but a face will still pursue you!
5. 2004, Robert Lopez and Jeff Marx:
She couldn't be sweeter, I wish you could meet her,
My girlfriend who lives in Canada.
Her name is Alberta, she lives in Vancouver.
She cooks like my mother and sucks like a Hoover.
I email her every single day, just to make sure that
everything's okay.
It's a pity she lives so far away in Canada.
6. 1967, John Kander and Frank Ebb:
You can tell my brother,
That ain't grim
Cause if her squeals on me
I'll squeal on him.
But don't tell Mama, bitte,
Don't tell Mama, please Sir.
7. 1996, Jonathan Larson:
525,600 minutes
525,000 moments so dear
525,600 minutes
How do you measure, measure a year?
In daylights, in sunsets,
In midnights, in cups of coffee...
8. 1976, Marvin Hamlisch and Edward Kleban:
"Dance 10, looks 3" --
It's like to die!
Left the theater and
Called the doctor for
My appointment to buy
Tits and ass!
9. 1973, Stephen Sondheim:
Isn't it bliss?
Don't you approve?
One who keeps tearing around,
One who can't move.
But where are the clowns?
Send in the clowns.
10. 2008, Lin-Manuel Miranda:
I'm getting tested; times are tough on this bodega.
Two months ago somebody bought Ortega's.
Our neighbors started packin' up and pickin' up,
And ever since the rents went up
It's gotten mad expensive,
But we live with just enough.
* Game 4, Round 6 - Miscellaneous - James Bond Movie Anagrams
We've taken the titles of some James Bond movies and rearranged
the letters to form anagrams. We give you the anagram; you name
the movie.
1. A Helmeted Nightgown Hunt.
2. Aid Shelving Tightly.
3. Elegy Done.
4. Null Breadth.
5. Aloe is Crayon.
6. You Ornery Sly Foe.
7. Retrievers Own Doom.
8. A Honeyed Triad.
9. Ladled Invitee.
10. Unequal Foot Scam.

So the poor old Eoarchean and Neoarchean eras apparently consisted
