These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2017-11-27,
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 Smith & Guessin' 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 2017-09-25 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".
* Game 10, Round 4 - Art - Last Works
As this is the last game of the season, some of the rounds will
have a theme of "lasts" or "endings". The following paintings
are all final paintings from notable artists. I have rearranged
the round in order of the handout:
http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/g10r4/final.pdf
From the title (sometimes translated into English) and the year
of the painting, you name the artist.
There were 3 decoys, which are interspersed with the others.
Identify those artists as well if you like for fun, but for
no points.
1. "La Gerbe" (1953).
2. "A Bar at the Folies Bergère" (1882).
3. "Christ Carrying the Cross" (1535).
4. "Victory Boogie Woogie" (1944).
5. Untitled (1940).
6. (Decoy) Self-portrait (1972).
7. (Decoy) "The Gardener Vallier" (1906).
8. (Decoy) "The Watermelons" (1957).
9. "Viva la Vida Watermelons" (1954).
10. "The Beyond" (1972).
11. "The Swallow's Tail" (1983).
12. "Simeon with the Christ Child in the Temple" (1669).
13. "Two Dancers Resting" (1896).
* Game 10, Round 6 - Sports - Hockey Hall of Fame
This Year's Hockey Hall of Fame induction weekend was earlier
this month. So, a round of questions on that topic. Where a
team is asked for, you may give either part, e.g. "Toronto" or
"Maple Leafs", as long as this is unambiguous.
1. Each year the Hall of Fame honors a newspaper writer and a
broadcaster for their career contributions. The broadcast
award is named for which pioneer hockey broadcaster?
2. Who resigned his Hockey Hall of Fame membership in 1998 after
pleading guilty to criminal charges?
3. The Hockey Hall of Fame was launched in 1945, but did not get
a permanent home until 1961, when it was on the CNE grounds.
In fact Toronto was not the first choice for the site.
Which eastern Ontario city originally go the nod, but then
couldn't get the project done?
Now, in keeping with the theme of "lasts", or at least "latests"
in this case, all of the remaining questions are about people
admitted to the Hall of Fame this year.
4. Women's hockey is represented in this year's selections by an
8-time world champion and 2-time Olympic gold medalist.
Name this Quebec native, who becomes the 5th woman player in
the Hall of Fame
5. Joining the Hall this year as a builder is Jeremy Jacobs,
the owner since 1975 of which "Original Six" NHL team?
6. Four NHL players were admitted this year: Dave Andreychuk,
Paul Kariya, Mark Recchi, and Temmu Selanne. Which one of them
played for the Toronto Maple Leafs?
Please decode the rot13 for the remaining questions only after
you have finished with #7.

These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2017-11-27,
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 Smith & Guessin' 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 2017-09-25 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".

Inquisition (QFTCI*)".
Again I have rearranged the questions in order of the handout:
http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/g10r7/young.pdf
There were 5 decoys, which are interspersed with the others.
Answer the decoys if you like for fun, but for no points.
In each case you simply provide the name of the famous person
shown here when they were young. We'll give you their profession
and nationality, or less information for the decoys. In all cases
the surname will suffice.
1. American actor.
2. British actor.
3. British actress.
4. British musician.
5. (Decoy) Actress.
6. British musician.
7. British comedian and activist.
8. American athlete.
9. American TV personality.
10. (Decoy) Leading woman in her field.
11. American actor.
12. (Decoy) Politician.
13. (Decoy) Actress.
14. (Decoy) Politician.
15. British actress.
* Game 10, Round 8 - Miscellanous - Apples
And once again I have rearranged the questions in order of the
handout:
http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/g10r8/apples.pdf
This time there were no decoys. In each case you simply name the
variety of apple.
1. Originally known as the Hawkeye, this is the most popular,
most maligned, most ironically named of all apple varieties
in the US. It now has thick skin, a one-note sweet flavor,
and an often crumbly texture.
2. With a soft skin and softer flesh, this common apple strikes
a level balance between sweet and acidic.
3. Considered an all-purpose apple, it can commonly be bought in
bulk for low prices and is described as mild and sweet, with
a juicy flesh.
4. If you're into tartness, this bitter old bird is your go-to.
Its crisp, juicy flesh, however, does sweeten with storage.
5. The product of efforts to develop cold-weather apples, this
apple keeps things simple with a light overall flavor profile
that's more sweet than tart. It's also juicy and moderately
crunchy.
6. Introduced in New York in the 1960s, this apple is a cross
between <answers 1 and 2>, despite its thin skin. It is crisp
and retains both the sweetness and tartness of its two parent
apples.
7. Created in Japan this apple is a cross between <answer 1> and
the Ralls Genet. It is described as dense, crisp and one of
the sweetest of all varieties.
8. This New Zealand breed has been gaining in popularity in North
America. Its skin is thin, concealing a crisp and juicy flesh
that's fragrant and fairly sweet.
9. This apple has a creamy white interior and both sweet-and-tart
flavors. It is relatively soft and functions as an all-purpose
apple, which means you can bake it, cook it, or eat it raw.
10. This apple also originates from New Zealand and produces a firm,
crisp bite and offers a pleasing balance between sweet and tart.
These apples a good for baking as well as eating raw.
