This is Rotating Quiz #133. Entries must be posted by Wednesday,
February 26, 2014 (by Toronto time, zone -5); that gives you
5 days and about 20 hours from the moment of posting.
Please answer based only on your own knowledge and, of course,
do not discuss the questions in the newsgroup before answering.
Please post your answers to all questions in a single followup in
the newsgroup, quoting the questions and placing your answer below
each one. This is not QFTCI -- you're only allowed one attempt
per question.
In case of a tie, the first tiebreaker is whether answers are given
in the correct manner; the second tiebreaker is who got their points on
the hardest questions; and the third tiebreaker is who posted first.
1. In "Murder on the Orient Express", Natalia Dragomiroff's handkerchief
is wrongly believed to have what on it?
5. Name the computer programming language, invented by Ken Thompson,
that introduced the world to notations like
while (*++p == *++q) putchar(*p);
Dennis Ritchie extended it to form another language that became
very widely used after UNIX was reimplemented in it, but you must
name the earlier language invented by Thompson.
6. This novel by Tom McCarthy was shortlisted for the Booker
Prize. One reviewer described it as "a rigorous inquiry
into the meaning of meaning: our need to find it in the world
around us and communicate it to one another; our methods for
doing so; the hubs and networks and skeins of interaction that
result"; plot elements include deafness and military radios.
Give the title.
7. René Blondlot's supposed discovery of these rays apparently
started as a self-delusion and his assistant may have helped
cover up the error. Robert W. Wood exposed the nonexistence
of the rays by visiting Blondlot's lab and secretly moving
things around. Blondlot called them *what* rays?
8. The story of what character, credited to the pseudonym
"Pauline Réage" and filmed in 1975 starring Corinne Cléry,
revolves around sex and sadomasochism?
9. A violin's body contains "sound holes" connecting the air
inside and outside of it. They are also known as what holes?
15. What frequently used to start by moving to K4, before it
was e4?
16. What was US President Truman's middle name?
19. In baseball, what is the traditional abbreviation for
a strikeout?
23. Hugo Weaving played what title character in a movie adapted
from a graphic novel?
39. Which chromosome is the only one in human cells that is
normally smaller than the one it pairs with?
53. What is the exact English translation of the Latin word
"ego"?
74. Name the movie where Josh Brolin played the then current
US president.
92. What Burmese word with a meaning similar to "Mr." became
known to more English-speakers when the UN named a new
secretary-general in 1961?
114. Explain the numbering of the questions, including this one.

symbols which are, of course, the answers. Not sure why you chose 114
for this since it's not the highest atomic number, nor even the highest
with a permanent name.

Each number is the atomic number of the element whose symbol is the

Given the gimmick of this particular contest, I should have predicted
that it would come down to the third tiebreaker and tried to devise a
way to avoid that. And eventually I realized *what* I should have done
-- I should have posted the whole thing in rot13 with an instruction
to decode the questions one by one, in each case "only after you are
done with the previous question" -- i.e. no going back.
Oh well, too late now. But, hey, I did invent and write the whole
thing in the space of 3.5 hours, which is I think is pretty good
considering the list of answers that the format required me to use.
Anyway, enough about me. 6 entrants got all the questions except the
last one, nobody got the last one, and so the winner is the first of
the 6 person to post his answers -- DAN TILQUE. Congratulations!
And may your RQ 134 be better designed.

Each of the other questions has a 1-letter answer which is also
the symbol of a chemical element, and the question number is that
element's atomic number. (Hydrogen, boron, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen,
fluorine, phosphorus, sulfur, potassium, vanadium, yttrium, iodine,
tungsten, and uranium.)
Dan Tilque, Erland, Stephen, Dan Blum, Marc, Rob, Jeff, and Pete
got this much, although not everyone mentioned that the list was
exactly the list of 1-letter symbols.
But 114 is simply *how many elements exist* and have official names
-- which means that the confirmation of their discovery, or creation
by nucleosynthesis, has been accepted by the IUPAC. (That's every
atomic number up to 112 = copernicium, then 114 = flerovium and
116 = livermorium.) And nobody got that.
And here's the table of scores, if there are no errors. Entrants
with equal scores are listed in tiebreaker order, which in every
case was the third tiebreaker.
