These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2015-06-15,
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 in a single followup to the newsgroup,
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 Five Guys Named Moe, 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 2015-08-18 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".

* Game 8, Round 10 - Challenge Round
A. The Life and Death of the CD
In each case give the year according to the Recording Industry
Association of America, within a margin of 1 year.
A1. When did CDs first outsell vinyl?
A2. When did CD sales peak?
B. Moons
B1. The only moon besides our own to have had a probe land on
its surface was discovered in 1655 by Christiaan Huygens.
It is the second-largest moon in our solar system, and
the only moon to have clouds and a planet-like atmosphere.
It was also the first place in our solar system besides Earth
where liquids were known to flow on its surface, although the
liquids are not water but methane and related substances.
Name this moon.
B2. Discovered in 1610 by Galileo Galilei, this is the largest
moon in our solar system. It is larger than the planet
Mercury, and is 3/4 the size of Mars. It is so large that
it would be considered a planet if it did not orbit Jupiter.
Name it.
C. The 2014 Canadian Brewing Awards
C1. Name the Toronto brewery that won gold at the 2014 Canadian
Brewing Awards for both its Spring Bock and Boneshaker brews,
it also won two silvers for Vicar's Vice and Maverick & Gose.
Its Rye Baltic Porter won a bronze.
C2. Name the southeastern Ontario brewery that won a gold for
its Lug Tread and bronzes for the Bottle Imp and Two Week's
Notice at the 2014 Canadian Brewing Awards.
D. Toronto Maple Leafs Playoff Disappointments
D1. In 1993, the Leafs were leading the best-of-7 Campbell
Conference final 3 games to 2 against the Los Angeles Kings.
The Leafs lost Game 6 in overtime and lost Game 7 by 5-4.
Name the Kings player who was primarily responsible for this,
scoring the overtime winner in Game 6 and a hat-trick in
Game 7.
D2. In 2013 conference quarterfinals, the Leafs were leading
the Boston Bruins 4-1 in the third period of Game 7.
The Bruins rallied to tie the game and then win it in
overtime. Name the Bruin who who was primarily responsible
for this, scoring both the tying goal and then the game
winner in overtime.
E. American Abolitionists
E1. Born into slavery, this African-American woman escaped
in 1849. She made about 13 missions to rescue approximately
70 enslaved family and friends using the Underground
Railroad. She became a scout for the Union Army during
the American Civil War and died in New York State in 1913.
Name her.
E2. This white American abolitionist believed that armed
insurrection was the only way to overthrow the institution
of slavery in America. In 1859 he led an unsuccessful raid
on the federal armory at Harper's Ferry. The raid ended
with his capture. He was convicted and sentenced to death
by hanging. Name him.
F. Hunter S. Thompson Quotes
We'll give you a quote from one of Hunter S. Thompson's books;
you name the book.
F1. Tiny hurts people. When he loses his temper he goes
completely out of control and his huge body becomes a
lethal weapon. It is difficult to see what role he might
play in the Great Society.
F2. The massive, frustrated energies of a mainly young,
disillusioned electorate that has long since abandoned the
idea that we all have a duty to vote. This is like being
told you have a duty to buy a new car, but you have to
choose immediately between a Ford and a Chevy.
