In Toronto, pubs and other such venues are now about to reopen,
but this doesn't mean that the Canadian Inquisition is about
to resume. Customers will be required to space themselves out,
and our games involve 11 people sitting together around a long
table or a cluster of small tables. In the meantime I'll continue
reposting questions from the first season of 2007 here.
These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2007-02-12,
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 originally wrote one of these rounds.
* Game 4, Round 2 - Geography - Where Are These?
Most countries are divided into states, provinces, regions,
territories, or what-have-you; in some cases, as with Canada,
there's more than one type of these top-level divisions. Here we
simply show you four of these parts that a country """is"""
divided into, and you name the country.
1. Atacama, Tarapacá, Antofagasta, Libertador General Bernardo
O'Higgins.
2. Chiba, Niigata, Okayama, Fukushima.
3. Dagestan (or Makhachkala), Murmansk, Novgorod, Smolensk.
4. Drama, Arkadia, Lakonia, Korinthia (or the same with each K
changed to C).
5. Hainan, Shanxi, Guangdong, Zhejiang.
6. Limburg, Wallonia, Luxembourg, West-Vlaanderen.
7. Nelson, Canterbury, Wellington, Marlborough.
8. Sikkim, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, Madhya Pradesh.
9. Sonora, Hidalgo, Tlaxcala, Guanajuato.
10. Tirol, Vorarlberg, Kärnten (or Carinthia), Steiermark (or
Styria).
This was originally written as a handout round with the lists on
paper, so there were decoys provided -- 16 of them. Here they are.
Answer them if you like for fun, but for no points.
11. Aceh, Papua, Irian Jaya Barat, Nusa Tenggara Timur.
12. Al-Qahirah, Bani Suwayf, Al-Iskandariyah, Al-Wadi al-Jadid.
13. Bahia, Paraná, Maranhão, Mato Grosso.
14. Budva, Zabljak, Pljevlja, Danilovgrad.
15. Finnmark, Telemark, Nord-Trondelag, More og Romsdal.
16. Harare, Masvingo, Midlands, Manicaland.
17. Holguín, Camagüey, Pinar del Río, Sancti Spíritus.
18. Kansas, Vermont, Kentucky, Mississippi.
19. Lac, Biltine, Mayo-Kebbi, Moyen-Chari.
20. Limburg, Zeeland, Groningen, Gelderland.
21. Limpopo, Mpumalanga, Western Cape, KwaZulu-Natal.
22. Loja, Esmeraldas, Morona-Santiago, Zamora-Chinchipe.
23. Maasin, Camiguin, Catanduanes, Surigao del Sur.
24. Salavan, Oudomxai, Phongsali, Louangphrabang.
25. Vysocina, Karlovarsky Kraj, Kralovehradecky Kraj,
Moravskoslezsky Kraj.
26. Wales, England, Scotland, Northern Ireland.
* Game 4, Round 3 - Canadiana - Booze
1. Canadian Club began production in 1858. It """is""" the
best-selling Canadian whisky brand outside of North America
and """is""" sold in more than 150 countries worldwide.
Who """makes""" it?
2. Where """is""" <answer 1> located?
3. What company's distillery, founded in 1832, forms what """is
now""" known in Toronto as the Distillery District? It was
owned in later years by <answer 1>.
4. Molson's was founded by John Molson, making it North America's
oldest brewing company, and Canada's second-oldest company of any
kind (after the Hudson's Bay Co.). In what year, within 5?
5. Labatt Brewing Co. Ltd. """is""" a Canadian beer company,
founded by John Kinder Labatt in 1847 -- in what city?
6. While most of Canada is too cold for grape-growing, Canadian
wine """is""" produced in the Niagara region of Southern Ontario
and southern British Columbia. Name the largest wine-growing
area in BC.
7. There """are""" two other wine-growing regions in Ontario,
though they """are""" much smaller than the Niagara region.
One is a county east of Toronto; the other is an area in
Southwestern Ontario defined by the Vintners Quality Alliance.
Each is on one of the Great Lakes. Name either one.
8. """It's""" the provincial liquor monopoly of Quebec, with the
initials SAQ. What does it stand for?
9. In December 2006, the LCBO introduced their recycling program
for bottles. There """are""" two different deposits, one
for large glass bottles and one for small glass bottles and
tetra-paks. Name either one of the two amounts that """are"""
charged.
10. A Caesar, sometimes referred to as a "Bloody Caesar", is a
cocktail mainly popular in Canada. It is served on the rocks
in a large celery-salt rimmmed glass and typically garnished
with a stalk of celery and a wedge of lime. For this trivia
question, please order and drink one. No, actually: name *all
four* ingredients in a typical Caesar. *Hint*: None of them is
a citrus juice or pepper. *Note*: We're asking for the four
ingredients that you or your bartender would mix to make it,
not the ingredients that go into those!
