These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2015-01-19,
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 in a single followup to the newsgroup,
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 MI5, 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 2015-02-23
companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian Inquisition
(QFTCI*)".
* Game 2, Round 2 - Literature - Witches, Wizards, and Magicians
For questions #1-8, we name of one or more wizards, witches,
or magicians from a work or works of fiction. You name *either*
the author *or* the work. If the work is a series, to name it
you can *either* give the series title *or* the title of the
first book (if it doesn't include the series title).
1. Ged, aka Sparrowhawk.
2. Saruman, Radagast.
3. Queen Jadis, aka the White Witch.
4. Sirius Black, Bellatrix Lestrange.
5. Belgarath, Polgara.
6. Kvothe.
7. Glinda, Elphaba.
8. Circe.
For questions #9-10, name the witch.
9. Darren's wife on the TV show "Bewitched". First name will do.
10. The witch in the movie "The Little Mermaid".
* Game 2, Round 3 - Science - Physics Symbols
There are a lot of characters in this round. Letters from the
Latin and Greek alphabets are common in physics. Give the letter
from the clue, or the measurement or property from the letter.
1. Which letter is used to represent a universal value in physics
close to 300,000 km/s or 186,000 miles per second?
2. Upper-case C stands for which property in physics, measured in
farads and defined as the ability to hold electric charge?
3. Newton teaches us that F = ma. What does the letter a stand for?
4. Whose constant is represented by a lower-case h? (Hint: It is
a crucial value in quantum physics.)
5. What is denoted by upper-case P and measured in watts?
6. The Greek letter eta, in lower case, is used for which property
that is considered to be highly desirable in engineering and
economics alike?
7. What unit of resistance is rendered by an upper-case omega?
8. The Greek letter tau in lower case stands for rotational force
in mechanics. What single word is used to denote this concept?
9. Which Greek letter in lower case is used to denote a high-energy
electron emitted by a radioactive nucleus?
10. What concept in physics and acoustics, among others, is
represented by a lower-case f?

But I think I was taught is represented shear force in a beam.
However, I might remember wrong, because it does not fit your description.

L. Frank Baum; Gregory Maguire
(I don't think this question is answerable as phrased; Glinda was in the
Oz books by Baum, but the name Elphaba for her rival was created by
Maguire for the "Wicked" series, in which Glinda was named Galinda
instead. Unless I'm wrong ....)

what I see on the Internet, you are. In Maguire's book she changes

international after all.
from
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torque>
This article follows US physics terminology in its use of the word
torque. In the UK and in US mechanical engineering, this is called
moment of force, usually shortened to moment
and
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shear_stress>
A shear stress, denoted \tau\, (Greek: tau), is defined as the component
of stress coplanar with a material cross section.

We'll describe two famous Canadians. The last name of the first
person is the first name of the second person -- or sounds like it.
You give the *combined name* formed by overlapping the two.
For example, if we said, "Chest-thumping Quebec songstress meets
Leafs captain", you'd answer by combining Celine Dion and Dion
Phaneuf to make "Celine Dion Phaneuf".
If the shared name isn't spelled the same way, either spelling
will do.
1. Schuster's comedy partner meets the Great One.
2. Doug McKenzie meets the Leader of the Opposition.
3. "The Diviners" meets "The Book of Negroes".
4. Naomi Klein's father-in-law meets Sector Sarajevo commander.
5. Little Big Man Oscar nominee meets heavyweight boxer.
6. CBC's Scottish-born "greatest Canadian" meets German-born
"Generation X" author.
7. Adorable Francophone Governor-General meets Le Gros Bill.
8. Figure-skating sweetheart of the 1940's meets "A Boy at the
Leafs' Camp".
9. Wrongly convicted Mi'kmaq meets "global village" academic.
10. 16-time Grammy winner meets "He shoots, he scores!"
* Game 2, Round 6 - Sports - By the Numbers
By their numbers ye shall know them.
1. Which Boston Red Sox left-hander finished the 1916 baseball
season with 23 wins, 12 losses, and a 1.75 ERA?
2. Who, in 1944-45, was the first NHL hockey player to score
50 goals in 50 games?
3. Which New York Islander, not as aggressive as his name might
suggest, became the second player to score 50-in-50 in 1980-81?
4. In what event did Bob Beamon set an apparently unbeatable mark
of 29'2½" on 1968-10-18 in Mexico City?
5. The most notorious "record" in Canadian history was set by
Ben Johnson in the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul. What was his
short-lived world record time for the 100 m? Give it exactly.
6. In 1941, Joe di Maggio lead the majors in RBIs with 125.
That same season, he set the as-yet-unbroken record for longest
hitting streak. Exactly how many consecutive games did he
hit in?
7. Which heavyweight boxing champion -- the only heavyweight
champion to remain undefeated during his entire professional
career -- retired with a record of 49-0 in 1956?
8. On 2011-10-16, Fauja Singh finished the Toronto Waterfront
Marathon in 8 hours 11 minutes 6 seconds. Why was this
apparently unremarkable time in fact quite noteworthy?
Be fully specific.
9. Which Englishman holds the interesting record of most Formula 1
wins -- 16 -- by a driver *who never won a World Championship*?
10. The longstanding NFL rushing record of 16,726 yards fell on Oct.

As a remark I'd say that this is then a case of
not-so-international-as-one-migth-think-physics again.
Effect is energy used per time unit just as Power.
Over here (at least I was) we are taught to use the
term effect instead of Power

not mean that "effect" is a correct word for the same thing in English. Just
because the same word appears in two languages, does not always imply that
they have the same meaning. The classic example is "semester" which means
something completely different in Swedish than it does in other languages.
(It means "vacation".)
When I look at http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/effect, I see
nothing that speaks of phyiscal entities.
Occasionally I have gotten away with using a Swedish term, but then I
have usually pointed it out as one. And in this case I did not even
answer with a Swedish word. So I have no objection with Mark's ruling.

It's the classic example for Swedes, duh. :-) (And I certainly appreciate

that other people have very little understanding of our idea of having
six months of vacation.)
By the way, I used the Wikipedia article as starting point, and tried a
number of other languages. Norwegian and Danish also has "rffekt" and
Nord-Frisian had "efekt". But else I found a number of quite unrelated
works. Italian has "potenza" and this word (with different spelling)
is also used in Catalan and Spanish. Whether the French "puissance" is a
form of the same word, I am not sure of. Dutch has "vermogen" and German
has "Leistung". Polish has "moc" (which I would translate to "power" in
English). Russian has Moshchost' which may be a cognate of "moc", but
I am not sure. Czech has "vıkon". And the list goes on.
One would like to think that for "modern" concepts that more or less the
same word is used in many languages, but that is not always the case, and
the your language that resembles an English word, you can easily walk into
a trap which I did. (Hey, I did look up "capacitance", because that one
I was not sure of.)

when talking about the physical property that "power" translates to
"effekt" in Swedish. Normally, you would translate it as "förmåga"
(compare the Dutch "vermogen" in my previous post), "makt" ("might")
or "kraft". And the latter is in Swedish the name of another physical
property: "force".

I have made a note that I've used the dictionary. But I may be confused.
In any case, it is not something I have done very often. Only when I have
known the answer in Swedish and I have had very little clue of the English
gloss. And only when it had been clear that using the dictionary would give
me any other surplus information. In this particular case, I started by
transcribing "kapacitans" into English, but first I did not get the spelling
rigtht and then I got in doubt that it really was that simple. Which in
proved to be in that particular case - but it certainly wasn't the case
with "effekt"!
