These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2018-07-23,
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 4 days.
All questions were written by members of What She Said 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 2018-07-16 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".
** Game 9, Round 9 - Miscellaneous - Automotive Logos
Automakers from around the world pride themselves on distinct
logos, which become the badges that decorate their cars. Please
see 24 of them on the handout at:
http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/9-9/cars.jpg
For questions #1-4, we'll give you a number and the brand's country
of origin: you name the brand.
1. #11 (Japan).
2. #18 (United States).
3. #20 (England).
4. #14 (Italy).
For #5-10, we name the brand and you give the logo number.
5. Mitsubishi.
6. Maserati.
7. Infiniti.
8. Cadillac.
9. Peugeot.
10. Opel.
And if you like, decode the rot13 to see the brands of the 14 decoys
and pick out their logos for fun, but for no points.

** Game 9, Round 10 - Challenge - W(h)ales
When we were coming up with ideas for challenge rounds, we realized
that we like whales, but then we realized that we also like Wales.
In the spirit of compromise, every category in this round has one
question about whales, and one question about Wales.
* A. Literature: Tales of W(h)ales
A1. What is the name of Captain Ahab's ship in "Moby-Dick"?
A2. "A Child's Christmas in Wales" was written by which famed
Welsh writer and poet?
* B. Entertainment: W(h)ales on Screen
B1. Ron Howard directed this 2015 movie starring Chris
Hemsworth, about the true-life events which inspired
the novel "Moby-Dick". Name the movie.
B2. Which 2014 movie about gay activists helping Welsh miners
during the British miners' strikes in 1984 is currently
being adapted into a stage musical?
* C. Geography: Where we Find W(h)ales
C1. Wales is bordered on the south by which body of water,
which extends outward from the Severn estuary?
C2. Although many different whales spend part of their year in
the Canadian Arctic, three species in particular are
concentrated there as their primary habitat. Name *any
one* of them.
* D. Miscellaneous: Products of W(h)ales
D1. Although the steel industry in Wales has gradually shrunk
over the years, it is still the UK's primary producer of
two *other* types of metal commonly used in manufacturing.
Name *either*.
D2. Which substance, found in the intestines of sperm whales,
was once prized by perfume-makers?
* E. History: Conquering W(h)ales
E1. Sperm whales were the most famous target of American whalers,
but they only begun hunting sperm whales after exhausting
the Atlantic populations of two other species of whale.
Name *either*.
E2. After several military campaigns, which English king
(nicknamed "Longshanks"), finally conquered Wales once and
for all in 1283? Give his name and number, if applicable.
* F. Sports: W(h)ales in Sports
F1. One Welsh team currently plays in the Premier League,
the topmost league of English soccer. Name that team.
F2. The Hartford Whalers moved from Hartford to a new city
in 1997. What is the team called now? Full name required,
like "Toronto Argonauts".
