These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on the dates
indicated below, and should be interpreted accordingly. If any
answers have changed due to newer news, you are still expected to
give the answers that were correct on those dates.
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 the Bloor St. Irregulars,
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 recent companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".
* Game 5 (2016-06-20), Round 1 - Current Events
1. At the 70th Tony Awards last Sunday, which show won Best Musical?
2. Microsoft announced last week that it would buy which social
media company, for $26,200,000,000?
3. Kathleen Wynne shuffled her cabinet last week. We could ask you
to name one of the ministers, but let's face it, most of them
are pretty forgettable. So just tell us how big the cabinet
currently is, including the Premier herself, within 1 in either
direction.
4. An Irishman named Jack Conway recently discovered 10 kilograms
(22 pounds) of *what* buried in a bog? The find, which
surprisingly enough is reportedly not unique, has been estimated
to be around 2,000 years old.
5. It was widely reported last week, though not officially
confirmed, that the NHL would add a franchise in *what city*,
which currently represents the largest North American market
without a major-league sports team?
6. Police and firefighters in Brockville were called out last week
to put a stop to an argument between a woman and her boyfriend's
father, as it was turning violent -- a propane tank was thrown
into a campfire at one point. *What topic of discussion*
led to this heated fracas?
7. Why was 94-year-old Reinhold Hanning in the news last week?
Be sufficiently specific.
8. Either tell us which 1970s rocker and sometime actor collapsed
mid-song on an Edmonton stage last week, or tell us which singer
fell into a hole in a Saskatoon stage, apparently while adjusting
his pants. You don't need to say which one you're referring to.
9. Who is the British Labour Party MP who was murdered last
Thursday, apparently for political motives in the midst of the
rancorous campaign over the so-called Brexit?
10. A new series of public-service ads sponsored by the Government
of Ontario, and only airing after 8:00 pm, was rolled out
on Thursday. What problem are the ads targeting?

* Game 6 (2016-06-27), Round 1 - Current Events
Welcome to the midpoint of the Summer 2016 trivia season. It's been
quite a week: the UK decided that the Continent will be permanently
cut off by fog in the Channel; the NHL, we assume, is shocked --
shocked! -- to learn that gambling has been going on in Las Vegas;
and not even Bernie is feeling the Bern any more. No fallen sports
superheroes, though, thank goodness.
Those are a few things that you won't be asked about in tonight's
current events -- now let's see what *is* on tap.
1. Who is the 27-year-old Star Trek actor who died last weekend in
a freak accident in which his Jeep Grand Cherokee, a model that
is subject to a recall, rolled back and pinned him against a
pillar outside his house?
2. What did Toronto police chief Mark Saunders offer an apology
for last Wednesday?
3. 52 seems to have been a karmic number last week: 52% of Britons
voted to Brexit, Cleveland won a major-league sports championship
for the first time in 52 years, and a ceasefire agreement was
signed to end (officially, at least) a conflict that had also
lasted 52 years. In what country did this armistice take place?
4. A pregnant woman, an avocado, Mrs. Santa Claus, and a gorilla
made the cut, but a rifle didn't. What set of things are we
referring to?
5. Netflix and the CBC announced last week that filming would begin
later this summer on a miniseries based on what Canadian novel?
Sarah Polley is the producer.
6. What was unusual about a concert given last week by Italian
composer and pianist Ludovico Einaudi ["en-OW-dee"]?
7. Which organization last week made a $5,000,000 gift to the Hot
Docs Festival, thereby giving it the funds to buy the Bloor
Hot Docs Cinema?
8. Corey Lewandowski lost his job last Monday. What had he been
doing prior to this summary dismissal?
9. It wasn't John Bradley, it was Harold Schultz after all.
"After all" in this case means 61 years after the event in
question. What Second World War event are we referring to?
10. The Leafs may have traded away future draft picks to pick
up goaltender Frederik Anderson from Anaheim, but last Friday
they did exercise their 2016 entry draft first-round #1 pick --
to select what 18-year-old player?

He was convicted and sentenced to 5 years in jail for complicity in
at least 170,000 deaths when he was a guard at Auschwitz. (For full
points you needed to mention conviction or sentencing in relation
to a concentration camp.) 4 for Pete and Erland. 3 for Peter.

Anton Yelchin. (Pavel Chekov, in the current movie series.)
4 for Joshua.

Colombia. (The conflict with the FARC or "Revolutionary Armed Forces
of Colombia".) 4 for Pete, Erland, and Joshua.

72 new emojis announced by the Unicode consortium. Any reference

"Alias Grace" (by Margaret Atwood).

He was on a small, artifical iceberg in the Atlantic off Norway.

Rogers Foundation.

Donald Trump's campaign manager. I did not think "working for

and Dan.

Raising the US flag at Iwo Jima, in the famous photo by Joe Rosenthal.
4 for Bruce, Pete, and Joshua.
And okay, yes, it has actually been 71 years since 1945. Where did
the time go?
Apparently Bradley had taken part in an earlier flag-raising nearby,
and didn't even realize himself that he wasn't present at the more
famous event; his son wrote "Flags of Our Fathers", which Clint
Eastwood made a movie based on.
