These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2017-11-20,
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 9, Round 9 - Science - Geological Landforms
The following questions deal with landforms. Landforms are
categorised by characteristic physical attributes such as elevation,
slope, orientation, stratification, rock exposure, and soil type.
1. The main categories of landforms are organized by the processes
that create them. So what process creates aeolian landforms?
2. Another main category is "impact landforms." What process
creates those?
After are are finished these two questions, please decode the rot13:
Vs lbh nafjrerq fvzcyl "rebfvba", tb onpx naq or zber fcrpvsvp.
3. These landforms are created based on movement in the earth's
crust. It is the main process that creates mountains, as well
as rift valleys found between highlands or mountain ranges.
What is the adjective used for this, from the Greek words for
"pertaining to building"?
4. Coastal and oceanic landforms can include island groups or
clusters of small scattered islands. What is the name used
for this, from the Greek words for "chief" and "sea"?
5. Staying with this landform, when a sea cave grows landwards and
upwards, it can create an opening on the surface through which
it blasts water. What do we call this opening?
6. Fluvial landforms include a U-shaped body of water that forms
when a wide meander from the main stem of a river is cut off,
leaving it free-standing. Name it.
7. Devils Tower in Wyoming, made more famous by the movie "Close
Encounters of the Third Kind" is an example of which type of
erosion landform?
8. These tall, thin spires of rock protruding from the bottom
of an arid drainage basin are other examples of erosion and
slope landforms. Well-known examples include the ones found in
Cappadocia ["ka-pa-DOKE-ee-ia"], and in Bryce Canyon National
Park, Utah.
9. An erosion landform, a dry creek that may fill seasonally with
rain, is known in Latin America as an "arroyo", and in the Arabic
world as a "wadi". What other team is used in North America?
10. One of the lesser-known landforms is called "karst" topography.
It is characterized by underground drainage systems with
sinkholes and caves and is created by the dissolution of soluble
rocks. Name one of the main types of rock that this could be.
** Game 9, Round 10 - Black Friday Challenge Round
* A. Friday Movies
A1. In a 2003 movie, Lindsey Lohan exchanges personalities with
her mom. Name the movie.
A2. In the 1940 movie "His Girl Friday", a newspaper editor
schemes to prevent his ex-wife, who is also his star
reporter, from quitting the paper and getting married.
Name either the lead actor or the lead actress.
* B. Friday Characters
B1. In the nursery rhyme "Monday's Child", who is fair of face,
what is said of Friday's child?
B2. In "Robinson Crusoe", the narrator meets Friday after
he escaped from cannibals. Later, cannibals return to the
island with two prisoners, whom the narrator and Friday feel
compelled to liberate, attacking the cannibals to do so.
One is a Spaniard, but who is the other?
* C. Black Death
C1. The Black Death, or Plague, was so widespread it can be
described by *which scientific term* that indicates its
broad international nature?
C2. There are three forms of the Black Death. The septicemic
form, where skin turns black and dies, is the rarest form.
Name *either* of the others. In one the lymph nodes swell;
in the other the victim experiences shortness of breath,
cough, and chest pain.
* D. Black Beard
D1. What was Blackbeard's real name?
D2. In 1718 Blackbeard blockaded a port for a week or so,
holding a ship ransom until he obtained medical supplies.
The port city is now part of the United States; name it.
* E. The Black Sea
E1. Near Odessa, Ukraine, another country comes within 2 km of
the Black Sea without actually touching on the sea anywhere.
What country is this?
E2. Sochi, Russia, is located on the east coast of the Black Sea.
If you continue 25 km south of Sochi along the coast,
you leave Russia and enter what other country?
* F. Friday Prayers
F1. In Islam, Friday is their holy day, as Sunday is to most
Christians. What day of the week is the corresponding holy
day for Judaism and Sabbatarian Christians?
F2. On Fridays, Muslims replace their regular post-midday prayer
with a special congregationalist prayer called the Juma'ah,
also called the Salah al-Jum'ah, or Jumah. What is the
post-midday prayer that is performed the *other* 6 days a
week called?
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.

This is one of four movies adapted from the play "The Front Page" --
