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 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. For further information see
my companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian Inquisition
(QFTCI5GNM, QFTCI11, QFTCIMM)".
All questions were written by members of Five Guys Named Moe,
and are used here by permission, but have been reformatted and
may have been retyped and/or edited by me.
** Final, Round 6 - Sports
* Canadian Gold Medallists at the 1984 Olympics
Primarily due to the Soviet-led boycott of these Games, Canada
enjoyed its best-ever results at the Summer Games in Los Angeles,
coming in 6th place for number of gold medals won. How well do you
remember these athletes?
1. He was a double gold medalist in swimming, winning both
men's 200 m and 400 m Individual Medley. Name him.
2. Sylvie Bernier was a gold medalist. What was her sport?
3. Larry Cain, Lori Fung, and Linda Thom were all gold medalists
and household names in the summer of 1984. Name one of
their sports, but you must tell us which athlete you mean.
* Just Odd Sports Stuff
4. This annual event, the premier competition in its sport, first
took place in 1877 solely as an amateur competition.
There were 22 competitors and the championship was won by
Spencer Gore.
5. In what year, within 2, did it become illegal for Olympic
athletes to use drugs to enhance their performance during
competition?
6. Who performed the first triple jump in figure-skating
competition, in 1952?
* Former Leafs of the Past 20 Years
In each case, name the Leaf.
7. In 523 games with the Leafs, this defenseman scored 83 goals,
assisted on 214 others and had 755 minutes in penalties.
8. In just 223 games with the Leafs, this lanky forward scored
120 goals and assisted on 98 others.
9. In 379 games with the Leafs, this goalie had 160 wins and
149 losses with 12 shutouts.
* NFL Record Holders
10. Name the kicker who holds the record for most points
scored in his career, with 2,544. He started playing in 1982
and retired in 2008, serving with the New Orleans Saints,
the Atlanta Falcons, New York Giants, Kansas City Chiefs,
and Minnesota Vikings.
11. Name the running back who holds the record for most rushing
touchdowns in a single season, with 28, set in 2006.
12. Five quarterbacks share the record of throwing 7 touchdown
passes in a single game. The last time the feat was
accomplished was on Sept. 28, 1969. Name any one of the five.
* Video Games
13. This video game series was created by Rockstar North
(formerly DMA Design) and first released in 1997, but it was
the third installment, released in October 2001, that made
it one of the most popular video franchises of all time.
That one replaced the traditional top-down view with a
third-person view for gameplay. Name the game.
14. This Capcom game series, know as Biohazard in Japan and
released in 1996 for the Playstation, was one of the first
"survival horror" video games. It has also spawned five
films. Name the game.
15. This game series was first released on October 29, 2003.
It was developed by Infinity Ward and published by Activision.
Although the first installment of the game was set in
World War II, future releases have been set in the present
day and the most recent version, set during the Cold War,
allows players to run around the Pentagon as John F. Kennedy
wasting zombies. Name the game.

Oh good it's right :-)

This was tied with Round 2, Science, for being the hardest round
in the original game.

Alex Baumann. 4 for Calvin.

Canoeing (Cain); rhythmic gymnastics (Fung); pistol shooting (Thom).
Perhaps it was over-generous, but I accepted "rowing" as almost
correct for canoeing. 3 for Peter. 2 for Calvin.

Dick Button. 4 for Pete.
I was interested to see two entrants guessing Sonja Henie.
One notable fact about jumps in figure skating is that, because they
require strength, most or all of them have been performed first by
men and only later by women. There was at least one type of jump
that Henie was the first to perform in competition, but she was
skating 20 years before Button. The actual first woman to perform
a triple jump in competition was Petra Burka, about 10 years after
Button did it.
