These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2003-01-27,
and should be interpreted accordingly. All questions were written
by members of the Usual Suspects, 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 2020-06-23
companion posting on "Reposted Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (RQFTCI*)".
I did not write these rounds.
* Game 2, Round 7 - Entertainment - Movie Characters
We'll give you the names of a number of characters from a movie,
and the year it was released; you name the movie. All of the answers
were taken from the Internet Movie Database's list of 250 top films
as it stood on 2003-01-26.
1. Name the 1994 movie at #3 on the list, behind only the first
"Godfather" and the second "Lord of the Rings". Two memorable
characters are Andy Dufresne and "Red" Redding.
2. 13th on the list is a 1975 movie featuring characters Randle
Patrick McMurphy and Mildred Ratched. Name it.
3. A 1954 movie comes in at #14. In which film will you find
L.B. "Jeff" Jeffries, Lisa Carol Fremont, Lars Thorwald, and
a character whose name we never learn, but who is referred to
as Miss Lonelyheart?
4. A 1995 movie scores #17. Where would you find Dean Keaton,
Dave Kujan ["KOO-yan"], Fred Fenster, and Mr. Kobayashi?
5. #42 is a 1941 movie with characters Brigid O'Shaughnessy,
Kasper Gutman, and Miles Archer. Name this classic movie.
6. Right behind it at #43 is a 1974 movie, and we hope you can
identify it from these two characters: Jake Gittes and Evelyn
Cross Mulwray. What film is this?
7. 56th on the list is a second 1995 movie. In which film will
you find William Somerset, David Mills, Tracy Mills, and
John Doe?
8. Movie #88 goes all the way back to 1933, but who could forget
Rufus T. Firefly, Mrs. Gloria Teasdale, and Ambassador Trentino
of Sylvania? In which movie would you find them?
9. The 112th movie on the list is from 1957. Two of its characters
are Antonius Block... and Death. Name it.
10. In a 1966 movie, coming in at #180, the main characters have
simple names: Martha, George, Nick, and Honey. Tell us the
name of this film.
* Game 2, Round 8 - Literature - Robert Burns
This round celebrates Robert Burns, the Scottish poet who was born
on 1759-01-25.
1. Identify the work by Burns excerpted below.
As fair art thou, my bonnie lass,
So deep in luve am I;
And I will luve thee still, my dear,
Till a' the seas gang dry.
2. Name the Burns poem that begins:
Wee, sleekit, cow'rin, tim'rous beastie,
O, what a panic's in thy breastie!
3. This dish is customarily served at a Burns Day dinner.
Burns himself called it "Great chieftain o' the puddin' race."
By which name do we know it?
4. <Answer 3> is traditionally accompanied by "neeps and tatties".
Give either food's name in English.
5. In which city's George Square was a statue of Robert Burns
dedicated in 1877, on the anniversary of his birth?
6. The first statue of Robert Burns *outside* of Scotland, by John
Robert Steell, was unveiled in 1880 in which city?
7. Name the title character of a narrative poem by Burns who
lends his name to a hat. It is a round woolen cap with a flat
baggy top much wider than the headband, typically with a pom-pom
in the centre.
8. This American fashion designer, who """claims""" to be a
descendant of Burns's family, combined plaid shirts with kilts
in his fall 1999 menswear collection.
9. This Scottish nationalist song was titled "Robert Bruce's March
to Bannockburn" by Burns, but it's better known by this name.
10. Another famous song by Burns was sung by Sheena Wellington
for the reopening of Scottish Parliament in 1999. Give the
title.
