These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2019-07-22,
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 Unnatural Axxxe 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 2019-01-22 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".
* Game 9, Round 2 - Literature - Shakespeare: the Next Line
We'll name the Shakespeare play and give you a few lines that are
followed immediately by a much-quoted line. We'll tell you how
many words and sometimes give a hint. And you give that next line
(or next part of the same line). *Exact answers* are required
for full points.
1. From "Hamlet":
"Neither a borrower nor a lender be
For loan oft loses both itself and friend
And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry.
This above all..."
(6 words.)
2. "Macbeth":
"She should have died hereafter.
There would have been time for such a word..."
(5 words, 3 of which are the same.)
3. "A Midsummer Night's Dream":
"Captain of our fairy band,
Helena is here at hand,
And the youth, mistook by me,
Pleading for a lover's fee.
Shall we their fond pageant see?
Lord!..."
(5 words.)
4. "The Merchant of Venice":
"Hath not a Jew hands,
organs, dimensions, senses, affections, passions?
Fed with the same food, hurt with the same weapons,
subject to the same diseases, healed by the same means
Warmed and cooled by the same winter and summer as a Christian is?..."
(8 words.)
5. "Richard III":
"His horse is slain, and all on foot he fights
Seeking for Richmond in the throat of death
Rescue, fair lord, or else the day is lost!
(Give the reply. 9 words. Some repetition.)
6. "The Tempest":
"And like this insubstantial pageant faded,
Leave not a rack behind..."
(9 words about consciousness.)
7. "Julius Caesar":
"And Caesar's spirit, ranging for revenge
With Ate by his side come hot from hell
Shall in these confines with a monarch's voice..."
(9 words on a canine theme.)
8. "Henry V":
"We few. We happy few..."
(4 words, think TV mini-series.)
9. "Romeo and Juliet":
"Good night! Good night!..."
(5 words.)
10. "As You Like It":
"All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players.
They have their entrances and exits..."
(9 words.)
* Game 9, Round 3 - Geography - World Landmarks
You may already know what these very famous landmarks look like,
but we do like to print pretty color pictures for you:
http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/9-3/marks.pdf
There were no decoys, and this round is sorted in order of the handout.
1. Picture A. This ancient Greek city is now a major attraction
in Turkey. Name it.
2. Picture B is undoubtedly the most famous tourist attraction
in Cambodia. Name it.
3. Picture C. Name that church.
4. Picture D is a memorial to which dead president?
5. Picture E. Name the city in India where you'd find the Golden
Temple.
6. Picture F. In which country would you find the Shwedagon Pagoda?
7. Picture G is undoubtedly the most famous tourist attraction
in Peru. Name it.
8. Picture H. Name that church.
9. Picture I. In what city is this modest structure located?
10. Picture J. Name this palace in Granada, Spain.

Why don't they ever ask about Strindberg? OK, so I would not do
any better if they did. Pass.
