These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2019-05-13,
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 Unnatural Axxxe 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 2019-01-22 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".
* Game 1, Round 2 - Entertainment - One Last "Game of Thrones"
Winter is coming, this Sunday. Yeah, I know, that's the last thing you
want to hear in May, but it's the series finale of "Game of Thrones".
Please see the 3-page handout:
http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/1-2/got.pdf
and name each of these major characters. (First names will suffice!)
I have resequenced the round according to the handout. There are
two decoys, which are now interspersed with the others; identify
these characters if you like for fun, but for no points.
1. Picture A.
2. Picture B.
3. Picture C.
4. Decoy -- picture D.
5. Picture E.
6. Decoy -- picture F.
7. Picture G.
8. Picture H.
9. Picture I.
10. Picture J.
11. Picture K.
12. Picture L.
* Game 1, Round 3 - Geography - First, There is a Mountain
We're talking mountain ranges, and not your basic Alps, Himalayas,
and Andes.
1. Name the longest mountain range that is considered to form part
of the boundary between Europe and Asia.
For each of the remaining questions, we name the range and you
name *any* country that it runs through or borders on.
2. Atlas Mtns.
3. Carpathian Mtns.
4. Pamir Mtns.
5. Altai Mtns.
6. Zagros Mtns.
7. Rwenzori Mtns.
8. Taurus Mtns.
9. Alborz Range.
10. Western Ghats, also known as Sahyadri.
After completing the round, please decode the rot13: Vs nal bs lbhe
