These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2003-01-20,

by members of the Usual Suspects, but have been reformatted and
may have been retyped and/or edited by me. I will reveal the
correct answers in about 3 days.
For further information, including an explanation of the """
notation that may appear in these rounds, see my 2020-06-23
companion posting on "Reposted Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (RQFTCI*)".

Mark Brader:
> 2. What is the general name for Japanese comic books?
Manga. 4 for Erland, Dan Blum, and Joshua. 3 for Dan Tilque.
> 3. Sushi doesn't actually mean "raw fish". What does it mean?
Vinegared rice (any reference to rice was sufficient). 4 for Erland,
Dan Blum, and Joshua.
> 4. What is the Japanese art of flower arrangement known as?
Ikebana. 4 for Joshua.
> 5. What is the Japanese art of folding paper into complex shapes
> known as?
Origami. 4 for everyone -- Erland, Dan Blum, Joshua, and Dan Tilque.
This led to a memorable moment in the 2004 movie "Ella Enchanted".
Trying to bluff an attacker, Ella says, "I think it's only fair
to warn you that I'm practiced in the ancient art of origami!" --
but unfortunately the attacker is also familiar with the word.
> 6. What is the Japanese martial art that emphasizes throws and
> holds, and whose name means "the gentle way"?
Judo (ju = gentle, do = way). 4 for Erland, Dan Blum, and Dan Tilque.
> 7. What is the Japanese martial art that emphasizes punching and
> kicking, and whose name means "the empty hand"?
Karate (kara = empty, te = hand). 4 for everyone.
> 8. The spring season is celebrated throughout Japan by festivals
> dedicated to what flower?
Cherry blossom. 4 for Erland and Dan Blum. 3 for Joshua.
> 9. What is the name of the native religion of Japan, based on
> reverence for ancestors?
Shinto. 4 for everyone.
> 10. They're sometimes known as the Japanese Mafia. What is the
> Japanese name for this criminal organization?
Yakuza. 4 for Erland, Dan Blum, and Joshua.
> * Game 1, Round 8 - Science - Myology
> 1. The subject of this round is myology. Myology is the branch of

Muscles. 4 for Dan Blum.
> Please decode the rot13 for questions #2-10 only after you are
> finished with #1.
> 2. It is generally accepted that there are two basic types of
> muscle *fibers*, one oriented to short bursts of exertion such as
> sprinting, the other to activities that require endurance, such
> as long-distance running. What are these two fiber types called?
Fast-twitch, slow-twitch. 4 for Dan Tilque.
> 3. There are three types of muscle *tissue*, one of which is
> cardiac muscle tissue. What are the other two?
Smooth/involuntary, skeletal/striated/striped/voluntary.
> 4. During normal or aerobic muscle metabolism, glycogen, a major
> muscle energy source, is broken down into what substance, used
> to maintain cell metabolism?
The answer we wanted was ATP (adenosine triphosphate), but after
almost everyone in 2008 said glucose, I looked it up and found
that glucose is indeed produced during the breakdown process.
So I'm accepting either answer. 4 for Dan Blum (the hard way)
and Dan Tilque.
> 5. If glycogen metabolism occurs in the absence of sufficient oxygen
> (that is, anaerobic metabolism), as in high-intensity exertion,
> the glycogen is broken down into what substance instead of
> <answer 4>? It provides an important muscle energy source,
> but can also be responsible for a burning sensation and muscle
> fatigue.
Lactic acid (not accepting "lactose", a different substance).
4 for Erland and Dan Blum.
> 6. In which part of the body would you find the gastrocnemius
> and soleus muscles? Be sufficiently specific.
Calf (lower leg).
> 7. What name is given to the following four muscles taken as a
> group: rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, vastus medius, and
> vastus intermedius?
Quadriceps. 4 for Dan Blum and Dan Tilque.
> 8. What name is given to the group of muscles, lying below the
> deltoid, that attach to the shoulder blade, and wrap around the
> front, back, and top of the shoulder?
Rotator cuff.
> 9. Name the large, flat triangular muscle on the back of the neck
> and upper trunk. It is the most superficial muscle (that is,
> closest to the skin) at this location in the body.
Trapezius.
> 10. The masseter and temporalis muscles enable what bodily function?
Opening and closing the jaw, hence chewing, etc. 4 for Dan Blum.
