These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2016-09-19,
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 the Misplaced Modifiers
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 1, Round 4 - History - Pacifism and Non-Violence
1. Who advocated non-violent resistance to South African apartheid
and was awarded the 1984 Nobel Peace Prize?
2. Which Central American country has had no standing army since
1948 -- and is, in fact, constitutionally forbidden from
having one?
3. On April 6, 2008, the Dalai Lama wrote: "It is the legitimate
right of every Tibetan to struggle for their freedoms and rights.
On the other hand, it will be futile and not helpful to anyone
if we do something that will create hatred in the minds of the
Chinese people." *What event* was he urging his followers not
to demonstrate against?
4. Woodrow Wilson was awarded the 1919 Nobel Peace Prize for his
role in establishing what?
5. The word "conchie" was coined in the early 20th century.
What does it mean?
6. Which British philosopher was the first president of the Campaign
for Nuclear Disarmament?
7. The only vote in Parliament against Canada's entry into World
War II was that of the CCF leader. Name that MP.
8. On February 22, 1943, Nazi Germany guillotined three founding
members of a non-violent resistance movement, including
University of Munich student Sophie Scholl. Name the *movement*.
9. By the beginning of the 20th century, according to the "Canadian
Encyclopedia", four Christian groups had received specific
exemptions from military obligations. Three of these groups were
the Quakers, the Mennonites, and the Hutterites. Which group
was the fourth?
10. Shot in the head in 1981, this White House press secretary
subsequently campaigned for gun control. An act of Congress
mandating background checks on gun purchasers bears his name.
* Game 1, Round 5 - Audio - TV Themes and Composers
Surprise! Here's an audio round that works without the audio.
In the original game, you would have heard a well-known TV theme
song; here, I'll just name the show instead. In each case, what
you have to name is the composer. Some are well-known beyond
their theme-song work, but others were studio staffers.
1. "The Big Bang Theory". Name the *band* that composed this theme.
2. "Jeopardy!". Originally composed as a lullaby for his son,
he used it later for the program that he executive-produced.
3. "Mission: Impossible". Name this busy TV theme composer,
also famous for "Hawaii 5-0".
4. "Peter Gunn". Name this famous theme writer.
5. "Sanford and Son". This 1970s sitcom theme was written for
the show by one of the most influential music producers of the
last 50 years.
6. "Star Trek" (the original series). No clue needed here.
7. "The Simpsons". This composer started with the band Oingo Boingo
in the late '70s and has garnered Emmy and Oscar nominations
for his work, particularly with Tim Burton.
8. "Welcome Back, Kotter". The name of the program was changed
to match the lyrics of this theme song written by a member of
a popular '60s band.
9. "Saturday Night Live" (the closing theme). More Canadians!
He was a member of the band Lighthouse in the late 1960s,
and more recently has won Academy Awards for his film scores.
10. "The Tonight Show" (the Johnny Carson version). Another
Canadian! He's famous for a number of golden oldies.
* Game 1, Round 6 - Sports - Things and Terms
We will give you first the name of a thing, and secondly the name
or descriptive term for an action or situation associated with a
sport, game, or pastime. You name that sport, game, or pastime.
Example: We say, "'Uprights'; 'Hail Mary pass'"; you say it's
Canadian (or American) football. Note, as in this case, that the
thing and the action are not necessarily related or occurring at
the same time; they are just terms from the same sport or pastime.
The thing will always come first.
1. "Biter stick"; "blank end".
2. "Trapper" or "catch glove"; "butterfly style".
3. "Cushion" or "rail"; "English".
4. "Mainstrings"; "deuce".
5. "Speed bag"; "peekaboo style".
6. "Poles"; "dig".
7. "Lob wedge"; "buried lie" or "fried egg".
8. "Spider" or "spider web"; "diddle for the middle" or "bull-off".
9. "Perimeter"; "pick and roll".
10. "Doughnut"; "brush-back".
