These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2018-06-25,
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 4 days.
All questions were written by members of What She Said 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 2018-07-16 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".
* Game 6, Round 2 - Leisure - Recreational Drugs
Well, they're clearly not work, so what else could they be but
leisure? Here are 10 questions about recreational drugs -- sorry,
no samples.
1. The leaves and flowers of this plant produce a psychoactive
constituent that, when consumed or smoked, produces euphoria,
change in perception, and increased appetite.
2. Mescaline naturally occurs in several cacti, most notably which
one that we call by the Aztec word for "divine messenger"?
3. Which hallucinogen is traditionally consumed via ingesting
small pieces of blotter paper which have been soaked with
the drug? Its effects last from 6 to 14 hours.
4. Presently, the most popular hallucinogen is psilocybin --
which you probably know better by its common name, which is
the medium in which it is grown. What's that?
5. This is probably the most popular illegal stimulant among
recreational drugs, in terms of sales revenue: its use
produces increased alertness, increased energy, euphoria,
and the perception of increased competence. Name it.
6. This drug is still occasionally prescribed in some countries
under its proper name, diamorphine, because as an opioid it
is still useful for pain control -- but most users prefer the
intense euphoria it produces. Name the drug.
7. This psychoactive drug first saw street use in the 1980s,
but since then has become identified primarily with rave and
dance party culture, in part because of the increased empathy
and perception it produces in its users. Name it.
8. This anesthetic started seeing recreational use in the 1970s
because of its ability to produce a brief disassociative state
in its users, along with euphoria and hallucinations, which
differentiates it from other popular "club drugs". Name it.
9. Because this stimulant produces powerful aphrodisiac effects in
addition to increased alertness and euphoria when it is injected
or smoked, its users tend to engage in unprotected sex frequently
-- which leads to a higher rate of sexually transmitted diseases.
Name that stimulant.
10. Which alkaloid and stimulant is found within members of the
nightshade family of plants, but only in high concentrations
found in one particular member of the family?
* Game 6, Round 3 - Canadiana Entertainment - Actors and Actresses
Did you hear that Parks Canada says that Lorne Greene isn't
Canadian enough to get a bronze plaque? Here are 10 questions
on contemporary Canadian actors and actresses.
For questions #1-4, we will give you the picture number and you
must name the person we describe. All of them are on page 1 of
the 2-page handout:
http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/6-3/act.pdf
(Note that the numbers are below the photos.)
1. #6 is an Edmonton-born actress, best known for her roles in
"Law & Order" and "Crossing Jordan", as well as a new summer
CBC series, "Crawford". Name her.
2. #9, born in Halifax, is best known for her roles as Kitty
Pryde in the "X-Men" franchise and her breakout film "Juno".
She's also well known as a political activist, particularly
with respect to gay rights and vegetarianism. Name her.
3. #5 is an Officer of the Order of Canada and a Stratford
Festival regular. He won a Gemini for his portrayal of Pierre
Elliott Trudeau in the 2002 miniseries. He also portrayed
Glenn Gould in "32 Short Films about Glenn Gould", and one of
the title characters in the "Bon Cop, Bad Cop" movies. Name him.
4. #2 acted in "The Time Traveller's Wife", and has a recurring
role in "Orphan Black", but is best known for her role as the
matriarch on "Kim's Convenience", a role she originated in the
Soulpepper stage production before taking on the role in the
hugely successful CBC-TV series. Name her.
For questions #6-10, you must give the picture number, and of
course, now they may be on either page.
5. Tara Spencer-Nairn is best known for her role as Constable
Karen Pelly on "Corner Gas".
6. Toronto-born Stefan Brogren has made a very nice career playing
the same character, Archie "Snake" Simpson, in every season of
every "DeGrassi" show.
7. Adam Beach is best known for his roles on TV shows such as
"Smoke Signals" and "Arctic Air", as well as playing Slipknot
in 2016's "Suicide Squad".
8. Tatiana Maslany had several different roles over five seasons of
"Orphan Black", as well as two seasons on "Heartland" and two on
"Being Erica".
9. Jay Baruchel ["bar-oo-SHELL"] is best known for his voicing the
character of Hiccup in the "How to Train your Dragon" franchise,
as well as roles in "Tropic Thunder", "This Is The End", and
the remake of "Robocop".
10. Gabrielle Miller portrayed Lacey Burrows on "Corner Gas" and
Bobbi Briggs on "Robson Arms", as well as the recurring role
of Linda Wallace on "The Good Witch".
And after completing the round, if you'd like to identify the
8 decoy photos for fun but for no points, please decode the rot13
to see their picture numbers.
