These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2013-12-02,
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 Clueless, 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
2013-09-15 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".
And you get an extra round this time, too. Instead of the usual
audio round, this game included a standard round about music, so
I'm posting Round 5 as well as the others, and hence your scores
for this game will be based on your best 7 rounds.
* Game 10, Round 4 - Miscellaneous - I Can't Believe They're Still Alive!
It is now 2013. The following 10 people are living history from
various walks of life who became famous a very long time ago in
almost a different universe and are still somehow alive! In each
case, name the person described. Warning: Questions do not always
focus on their most obvious claim to fame.
1. Musician born in 1925. Worked as a tractor driver in 1943,
became a disc jockey in Memphis around 1948. Biggest hit was
released in 1969. Over the past 64 years, has played over
15,000 live performances and recorded at least 32 studio albums
and 18 live albums. Has made guest appearances on "The Young
and the Restless", "Sanford and Son", "Sesame Street", and
"Married... with Children". A self-proclaimed "Sinatra nut",
credits Sinatra for helping him/her get gigs in Las Vegas in
the '60s. A museum dedicated to this person opened in 2008
in Indianola, MS.
2. Born in 1921, American politician, but more famous for something
else. Saw action in the Marshall Islands in World War II and
later in the Korean War. Was nearly deemed too old for his/her
greatest claim to fame, but achieved permanent iconic status
February 20, 1962. Then in 1998 accomplished a similar feat,
followed by a ticker tape parade.
3. Born in Japan in 1916. Starred in the movie that won the Oscar
for Best Picture of 1939. Co-stars, romantic partners, and
friends included James Stewart, Bette Davis, Errol Flynn,
and John Huston. Awarded US National Medal of Arts in 2008
and inducted into the Legion d'Honneur in France in 2010.
4. Born in 1917 with the last name Welch. First radio broadcast

the spirit of the twentieth century. In 2013, joined a PETA
campaign against pigeon racing. Autobiography is titled "Some
Sunny Day".
5. Born in 1918. Launched a radio program in 1944 and has now
reached via radio and TV broadcasts an estimated 2,200,000,000

sitting president of any US college or university. In 1963
posted bail for Martin Luther King to be released from jail
during civil rights protests in Birmingham. Appeared as a
guest on a 1969 Woody Allen TV special, joining the comedian
in a witty exchange on theological matters.
6. Born in New York in 1927. The first time this singer appeared
in front of an audience, the backing musicians were the Charlie
Parker band. Released an album in 1956 that became the first to
sell 1,000,000 copies in a year. Bob Dylan made his first-ever
record appearance playing harmonica on this person's record
in 1962. Dylan later called him/her "the best balladeer in
the land". Sang at Jim Henson's memorial service. Starred in
a 1959 science fiction movie as one of the last people alive
on earth. Vocal critic of George W. Bush's presidency.
7. Born in 1915. Graduated with a degree in history from the
University of Texas at Austin in 1936. Has co-starred in
different movies with Clark Gable and Marilyn Monroe; with
Yul Brynner and Steve McQueen; and with Clint Eastwood.
Originally cast in 1953's "From Here to Eternity" but was
abruptly replaced due to pressure from the mob, an incident
recalled in "The Godfather". New York Times film critic

8. Born in New York in 1919. Musician and political activist.
Performed on radio in one of the first racially integrated casts,

in 1948. Blacklisted in 1953 but invoked the First Amendment,
not the Fifth, in front of HUAC. Author or co-author of "Where
have All the Flowers Gone?", "If I had a Hammer", and "Turn,
Turn, Turn!" Performed at Barack Obama's first inauguration.
9. Singer and movie star. Born with the last name Kappelhoff
in 1924 in Cincinnati. First big music hit came in 1945 and it
became an anthem for demobilizing troops. Became the biggest
movie box-office star for 1960, '62, '63 and '64. Had a TV
show 1968-73, and another TV talk show 1985-86. An animal
welfare activist.
10. Born 1917. Nominated for Oscar for role in Hitchcock's
"Rebecca" (1940) but lost, then won for role in Hitchcock's
"Suspicion" (1941). Later films include "Ivanhoe" and "Voyage to
the Bottom of the Sea". Sibling of one of the previous answers.
Autobiography, "No Bed of Roses", was published in 1978, now
35 years ago!
* Game 10, Round 5 - Music - Album Titles
Record albums flourished in many genres of music from the 1960s
to the '80s. We give you three titles from the discography of a
person or band, and you name that person or band.
1. "Blowin' Your Mind"; "His Band and the Street Choir"; "Tupelo
Honey".
2. "Parallel Lines"; "Eat to the Beat"; "Autoamerican".
3. "More Songs about Buildings and Food"; "Fear of Music";
"Remain in Light".
4. "Hunky Dory"; "Aladdin Sane"; "Pin Ups".
5. "My Favorite Things"; "Live! at the Village Vanguard"; "A
Love Supreme".
6. "Junkie and the Juicehead Minus Me"; "Look at Them Beans";
"Bitter Tears: Ballads of the American Indian".
7. "You Ain't Woman Enough"; "Who Says God is Dead!"; "Your Squaw
is on the Warpath".
8. "Porgy and Bess"; "Sketches of Spain"; "On the Corner".
9. "Lola versus Powerman and the Moneygoround, Part One";
"Arthur (or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire)";
"Muswell Hillbillies".
10. "Music from Big Pink"; "Stage Fright"; "Moondog Matinee".
* Game 10, Round 6 - Sports - Collectibles
The G.I. Joe toy line in 1964 was marketed as "action figures",
since everyone know that boys didn't play with "dolls". Now they
are highly collectible. G.I. Joe is the code name for America's
daring, highly trained special mission force. Its purpose: to
defend human freedom from Cobra, a ruthless terrorist organization
determined to rule the world.
We'll give you the name of either a G.I. Joe or Cobra team member.
You give us the number that indicates their toy's original
packaging on the handout:
http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/10-6/joe.pdf
1. Baroness.
2. Bazooka.
3. Blowtorch.
4. Buzzer.
5. Lifeline.
6. Ripcord.
7. Scarlett.
8. Shipwreck.
9. Snake Eyes.
10. Stormshadow.
