These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2013-03-04,
and should be interpreted accordingly. All questions were written
by members of the Night Owls, but have been reformatted and may
have been retyped and/or edited by me. I will reveal the correct
answers in about 3 days.
For further information, including an explanation of the """
notation that may appear in these rounds, see my 2022-09-09
companion posting on "Reposted Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (RQFTCI*)".
* Game 5, Round 1 - Current Events (excerpt)
Answer these 2013 questions if you like for fun, but for no points.
1. Who was the actress who tripped and said the F word, while
walking to the stage to accept her Oscar at the Academy Awards
ceremony?
2. The reigning champion of the Honda Golf Classic suddenly withdrew
part way through this year's tournament because of a toothache.
Who is this #1-rated golfer, who made a sudden exit from the
Honda Classic last week?
* Game 5, Round 2 - Entertainment - One-Season Wonders
This round is about television programs that ran for just one
season, or in some cases even less. In each case, give the title.
1. This 1999 show about misfits in a 1980 Michigan high school
was run by Judd Apatow and starred Seth Rogen, James Franco,
and Jason Segel.
2. This 2003 show was a sequel to a popular movie starring Nia
Vardalos.
3. This 2005 show starred Geena Davis as the first woman to become
the American president.
4. This 2006 show was about a behind-the-scenes look at a fictional
sketch-comedy TV show. It starred Matthew Perry, Amanda Peet,
and Bradley Whitford.
5. This 2002 show was an oddball Western/SF mash-up -- about a
crew of bandits working jobs on the frontier of a new solar
system. The creative force behind the show was Joss Whedon.
6. This 2009 show was about a special task force in the FBI that
investigates after every person on Earth simultaneously blacks
out and awakens with a short vision of their future. It was
based on the Robert J. Sawyer novel of the same name.
7. This 1982 show was a comedy that starred Leslie Nielsen and had
the same puns and sight gags that would be found in the "Naked
Gun" movies that followed.
8. This 1966 crime-fighting show starred Van Williams and Bruce Lee.
9. This 1994 show starring Claire Danes looked at the experiences
of a teenage girl. This show was run by the same creative team
that was behind "thirtysomething".
10. This British-made TV show aired in the UK during the 1967-68
season and in the US in 1968-69, and starred Patrick McGoohan.
* Game 5, Round 3 - Geography - French Regions
And now, the first visual handout round of the season! Please see:
http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/5-3/france.png
While France replaced the historical provinces with departments
during the French Revolution, the provinces have remained the
common reference in identifying the various parts of the country.
"""Today""", modern French "regions", each grouping several
departments, replicate many of the old provinces. In French or
English, name the modern region indicated by the following numbers
on the map.
There were 10 decoys; for convenience I've put them in numerical
sequence with the 10 regions that were actually used in the round.
As usual, answer the decoys if you like for fun, but for no points.
Same regions have double-barreled names like "Schleswig-Holstein";
in these cases the first part of the name will be sufficient.
1. (decoy)
2. Name it.
3. Regions 3A and 3B were split from a single region and are
named accordingly. Just give the name of the original region
before the split.
4. Name it.

As Rob Parker noted in 2013, some of these may never have been
broadcast in some of your countries. Your fault for living in the
wrong place. :-)

Unlike all the others, this was a one-season show voluntarily.
McGoohan, who also created the show and was executive producer,
was not interested in making it more than a limited series.

In a 2016 reform, the 21 regions in the main part of France were
reduced to 12 by combining several of them in groups of 2 or 3.
At about the same time, another region was renamed. In all these
cases either the name at the time of the original game or the new
name will be accepted, although this means answers will now repeat.
