These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2018-01-15,
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 Bill Psychs 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 1, Round 4 - Science - Geometry
Please see the handout at:
http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/1-4/geom.pdf
For questions #1-8, select the applicable formula from the handout.
(Note: the fractions in formulas D, F, and K are badly rendered.
In each case please read the numerical fraction as being multiplied
by what follows; for example, D is 1/2 times bh.)
1. Surface area of a sphere.
2. Area of a circle.
3. Volume of a sphere.
4. Volume of a cylinder.
5. Area of a triangle.
6. Surface area of a cylinder.
7. Volume of a cone.
8. Euler's identity.
For questions #9-10, see the diagram at the bottom of the handout.
9. Which line on the diagram (as usual, name it by its two
endpoints) represents the sine of angle theta?
10. What trig function of angle theta does line PR represent?
* Game 1, Round 6 - Sports - Ping-Pong
Whether you call it ping-pong or table tennis, it is a sport that
combines precision skills and blinding speeds when played at the
highest levels.
1. What year was the game first played at the Olympics?
2. The balls are usually one of two colors, in order to contrast
with the table. White is one. What is the other?
3. Which well-known US board-games manufacturer purchased the
rights to the name "Ping-Pong", and enforced the trademark on
it during the 1920s?
4. Within 5 years, when was the International Table Tennis
Federation (ITTF) founded?
5. Table tennis rackets are usually called paddles in North America.
What are they usually called in Britain?
6. There are two general styles of grip in table tennis.
Both of their names refer to things commonly done with the hands.
Name either grip.
7. The table tennis Grand Slam is earned by winning singles
championships at the Olympic Games, World Championships, and
World Cup. Jan-Ove Waldner was the first player to complete
the Grand Slam. What country is he from?
8. Ping-pong players would sometimes add a substance to their
rackets to increase the speed and spin of the ball, but it was
banned by the ITTF in 2009. Name the substance.
9. In the January 2018 ITTF men's world ranking list, the top 5
ranked players are all from either China or -- what European
nation?
10. In the January 2018 ITTF women's world ranking list, the first
two ranked players are from China and the third is from
Singapore. What other Asian country are the next three ranked
players from?

The others are:

This was the hardest round in the original game. Table tennis was
also a round category on "Jeopardy!" on 2018-02-19, including one
similar and one of the same questions.

1988. 4 for Joshua.

Parker Brothers. 4 for Marc. 3 for Dan Blum and Dan Tilque.

1926 (accepting 1921-31). 2 for Joshua and Dan Blum.
> 5. Table tennis rackets are usually called paddles in North America.

Bats. 4 for Marc, Peter, Dan Blum, and Bruce.
On "Jeopardy!" they asked almost exactly the same question for
$1,000, with the hint that the term is "familiar from cricket and
another sport". It was answered correctly on the first try.
> 6. There are two general styles of grip in table tennis.

> Name either grip.
Penhold (also accepting tennis; and I decided to accept "pencil"
also), shakehand (also accepting Western or standard). 4 for Marc,
Dan Blum, Bruce, and Pete.
On "Jeopardy!" for $800, they illustrated the Western or standard
grip and asked what greeting it resembled. This too was answered
correctly on the first try, by the same contestant.

Speed glue. (When used to reattach the rubber to the racket body,
it temporarily provided greater elasticity.)
