These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2018-08-07,
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*)".
** Final, Round 8 - Miscellaneous
(Sometimes it's a thing that doesn't fit elsewhere, sometimes
it's just "too many sports questions this week".)
http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/f-8/r.jpg
Throughout the Final game, in all cases name the person or thing
*emphasized*, whether it is asked for in the form of a question
or not.
* Uncommon Fruit
(You wanted common fruits? What type of trivia league do you
think we're running here?)
http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/f-8/t1.jpg
We'll hand you an unusual type of fruit, which you may examine as
you wish. Then, tell us what fruit it is.
(Here, you'll have to be satisfied with looking at pictures.)
1. See: http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/f-8/fruit/1.jpg
What *type of fruit* is this?
2. See: http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/f-8/fruit/2.jpg
What *type of fruit* is this?
3. See: http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/f-8/fruit/3.jpg
What *type of fruit* is this?
* Wrappers
(*Bar* none, the best category in this Final -- eh? eh?)
http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/f-8/t2.jpg
We're going to show you a chocolate- or candy-bar wrapper with
the name Photoshopped out; you tell us what bar it is.
4. See: http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/f-8/bar/4.jpg
*Name it*.
5. See: http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/f-8/bar/5.jpg
*Name it*.
6. See: http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/f-8/bar/6.jpg
*Name it*.
* Kitchen Thingies
(They slice, they dice, they make Julienne fries.)
http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/f-8/t3.jpg
We'll hand you a kitchen tool or implement (again, here you'll have
to be satisfied with a picture) and give you a clue as to its use;
you tell us what the thingy is.
7. See: http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/f-8/tool/7.jpg
*This thingy* is used with dough made from flour, eggs, and
salt to make a type of food (which has the same name as the
dough).
8. See: http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/f-8/tool/8.jpg
*This thingy* is also used to shape dough into a food, but
this time the dough is made from flour, eggs, and potatoes.
9. See: http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/f-8/tool/9.jpg
*This thingy* is similar to a mezza luna, and traditionally
is used in food preparation by the Inuit, Yupik, and Aleutian
cultures.
* Service Clubs
("Who controls the British crown? Who keeps the metric system
down? They do, they do.")
http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/f-8/t4.jpg
Three questions about people who sometimes wear funny hats,
sometimes drive funny tiny cars, and (ooops) it turns out a lot
of them were really, really racist for a long time.
10. *This service club* began admitting non-whites earlier than any
other major service club or fraternal order when it opened
branches in the Philippines and India in 1919, only 14 years
after the club's formation, and has banned racial discrimination
in its charter since 1922. However, the club did go to the
Supreme Court to try to prevent women from joining in 1987
(and failed), so...
11. *This service club* has 1,900,000 members worldwide -- but
restricts its membership to Catholic men age 18 or older.
12. *This service club* is the oldest Jewish service organization
in the world, committed to "the security and continuity of the
Jewish people and the state of Israel". In addition to the
community services it provides via its hundreds of thousands of
members, it also has a strong tradition of human rights activism.
* Spices
(Hint: the answer to every question is "variety", because that
is the spice of life -- no, wait, sorry, I'm being told that
that's not the case.)
http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/f-8/t5.jpg
We'll hand you a sample of a spice; you can smell it (and taste
it if you like). (Sorry, here once again you'll have to be
satisfied with a picture.) Then you simply tell us what spice
we've given you.
13. See: http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/f-8/spice/13.jpg
Identify *this spice*.
14. See: http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/f-8/spice/14.jpg
Identify *this spice*.
15. See: http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/f-8/spice/15.jpg
Identify *this spice*. (Two words required.)

That does not look to different from a Marabou milk chocolate. However,
I would suspect that Marabou is not known in a Toronto pub.

Looks familiar, but I've never thought of it as a "spice". Could be
from deer, maybe?
