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 4 - Literature: Act III, Scene I
We give you the opening lines from Act III, Scene 1; you name
the Shakespearean play. In a few cases we will tell you who is
speaking, or provide a stage direction.
1. [To soothsayer] "The Ides of March are come."
2. "I pray thee, good Mercutio, let's retire.
The day is hot, the Capulets abroad.
And if we meet, we shall not scape a brawl,
For now, these hot days, is the mad blood stirring."
3. "Good Margaret, run thee to the parlour.
There shalt thou find my cousin Beatrice
Proposing with the Prince and Claudio.
Whisper her ear and tell her, I and Ursley
Walk in the orchard, and our whole discourse
Is all of her."
4. Solanio: "Now, what news on the Rialto?"
Salarino: "Why, yet it lives there unchecked that Antonio hath
a ship of rich landing wrecked on the narrow seas..."
5. "Thou hast it now: King, Cawdor, Glamis, all,
As the weird women promised, and I fear
Thou play'dst most foully for't; yet it was said
It should not stand in thy posterity,
But that myself should be the root and father
Of many kings."
6. "Now, darting Parthia, art thou struck, and now
Pleas'd fortune does of Marcus Crassus' death
Make me revenger. Bear the King's son's body
Before our army. Thy Pacorus, Orodes,
Pays this for Marcus Crassus."
7. "Are we all met?"
"Pat, pat; and here's a marvellous convenient place for our
rehearsal. This green plot shall be our stage, this hawthorn
brake our tiring-house; and we will do it in action, as we will
do it before the Duke."
8. [as Cambio] "Fiddler, forbear; you grow too forward, sir.
Have you so soon forgot the entertainment
Her sister Katherine welcome'd you withal?"
9. "And can you by no drift of circumstance
Get from him why he puts on this confusion,
Grating so harshly all his days of quiet
With turbulent and dangerous lunacy?"
10. Kent: "Who's there, besides foul weather?"
Gentleman: "One minded like the weather, most unquietly."
Kent: "I know you. Where's the King?"
Gentleman: "Contending with the fretful elements..."
* Game 9, Round 5 - Audio - Great Choral Works
I thought this round would be playable without the audio, so here
it is. You'll get the title of a chorus -- in some cases it's a
standalone work, in others it's from an oratorio, requiem, anthem,
or hymn. You'll also be given the year the work was composed,
but you'll have to imagine the clip you would have heard in
the original game. I'll give all titles in English or Latin,
but some were originally in other languages.
What you must do, of course, is name the composer. *Warning*:
Answers may repeat.
1. "Worthy is the Lamb" (1741).
2. "Ah Holy Jesus" (1727).
3. "The Wonder of His Works" (1797).
4. "Ode to Joy" (1824).
5. "For the Love of Jesus" (1865).
6. "Blessed Are" (1865).
7. "Requiem Aeternam" (1791).
8. "Thanks Be to God" (1846).
9. "Zadok the Priest" (1727).
10. "Jerusalem" (1916).
After completing the round, please decode the rot13: Vs lbh whfg

* Game 9, Round 6 - Canadiana Sports - The Grey Cup
With the Grey Cup game coming up next Sunday, here's a round of
questions on the Canadian Football League championship.
1. What team holds the record for consecutive Grey Cup titles,
namely 5, from 1978 to 1982?
2. What team has the most Grey Cup victories, namely 16?
3. What current CFL team has gone the longest without winning the
Grey Cup, their last title coming in 1990?
4. The Grey Cup attendance record dates back to 1977, when more
than 68,000 fans attended the game in which city?
5. Where will next Sunday's game be played?
6. Who won last year's Grey Cup?
7. Name the quarterback who holds the record of 4 touchdown passes
in a Grey Cup game (in 1969), and shares the record of 8 career
Grey Cup TD passes.
8. The first Grey Cup game was played in 1909 in which upscale
Toronto neighborhood?
9. Three men share the record of 5 Grey Cup wins by a head coach.
One won the 5 titles that question #1 was about. Another was
his assistant coach, who then won 5 as a head coach with
four other clubs. The third record-holder won his 5 with two
different teams. Name *any one* of the three.
10. Name either of the 2 head coaches who have led Grey-Cup-winning
teams and also led American football teams to the Super Bowl
(though they did not win that).
After completing the round, please decode the rot13: Vs lbh fnvq

"Argonauts" wasn't required in the original game, but I'm requiring

1909 and 1930 when the field of teams was rather different than today,
and one in 1942 when the game was restricted to military teams.
