These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2007-02-19,
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 wrote one round in this set.
** Game 5, Round 7 - Sports - Baseball Players
This round has a 2-page handout showing 24 Baseball Hall of Famers:
Please see: http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/5/hofers.pdf
and pick out the players we name, from whichever page they are on.
(Give the picture number in each case.)
1. Hank Aaron.
2. Johnny Bench.
3. Roberto Clemente.
4. Joe DiMaggio.
5. Rollie Fingers.
6. Stan Musial.
7. Jackie Robinson.
8. Honus Wagner.
9. Ted Williams.
10. Cy Young.
So there were 14 decoys. After you're finished with the round,
decode the rot13 if you'd like to see their picture numbers (in
random order), and name them for fun, but for no points.
11. Cvpgher bar.
12. Gjryir.
13. Ryrira.
14. Gjragl-bar.
15. Svsgrra.
16. Guerr.
17. Sbhe.
18. Gjragl-gjb.
19. Friragrra.
20. Gjb.
21. Frira.
22. Gjragl-sbhe.
23. Guvegrra.
24. Rvtugrra.
** Game 5, Round 8 - Entertainment - Top Albums of All Time
Given the names and track numbers of three songs, name the album
from the """top 20 albums of all time""" according to "Rolling
Stone". There """are""" lots of repeat artists in the top 20,
but not in this round: each artist is only used once.
*Note*: In each case we need *both* the name of the singer
or band (as applicable) *and* the album these tracks were on.
(There won't be any "Greatest Hits of" or anything like that;
we're always talking about the original albums.)
1. (track 4) Getting Better; (8) Within You, Without You;
(11) Good Morning, Good Morning.
2. (track 1): Wouldn't it Be Nice; (8) God Only Knows;
(11) I Just Wasn't Made for These Times
3. (2) Tombstone Blues; (5) Ballad of a Thin Man;
(8) Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues.
4. (2) What's Happening Brother; (3) Flyin' High (in the Friendly
Sky); (6) Mercy Mercy Me (the Ecology).
5. (1) Rocks Off; (7) Torn and Frayed; (14) Let it Loose.
6. (8) Lost in the Supermarket; (12) Death or Glory; (19) Train
in Vain.
7. (3) Hey Joe; (7) The Wind Cries Mary; (10) Foxey Lady.
8. (3) Come as you Are; (5) Lithium; (6) Polly.
9. (1) Thunder Road; (6) She's the One; (8) Jungleland.
10. (2) Baby Be Mine; (7) Human Nature; (8) PYT (Pretty Young Thing).
Surprise! There's one more round in this set.
In the original game, Round 9 (Canadiana) was a second current-
events round based on Canadian news, so I won't be posting it here.
Instead I'll just tack Round 10 onto the end of this set, and
you'll be scored on your best 5 out of 7 rounds.
** Game 5, Round 10 - Challenge Round
* A. Chemical Formulas
A1. Give the formula for sulfuric acid.
A2. Give the formula for ammonia.
* B. Known as "D-Day"
B1. June 6, 1944, is popularly called D-Day, but what was the
actual code name of the military operation to invade Normandy?
B2. "D-Day" actually is military jargon, but it doesn't refer
specifically to <answer B1>. What does it mean? (We want
an explanation, not an etymology.)
* C. Known as "Wrong Way"
C1. In 1938 this American aviator had been denied permission to
attempt an Atlantic crossing, so he announced plans to fly
from New York to California instead. And when he landed in
Ireland, he said his compass had been set wrong. From then
on he was known as "Wrong Way"... who?
C2. It only takes a small accident to inadvertently score on
your own goal in hockey or soccer, but in football you
have to work to set it up. In the 1929 Rose Bowl this
University of California star recovered a Georgia Tech
fumble and ran 65 yards the wrong way. He was stopped on
his own 1-yard line, but Georgia scored a safety on the next
play and went on to win 8-7. And our star became known as
"Wrong Way"... who?
* D. Not Just a Writer
D1. One of the best of Alfred Hitchcock's early movies was
adapted from a novel by a future Governor-General of Canada.
Name this Scottish writer and politician.
D2. This man was best known for work in another field, but
won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1953. His books are
mostly nonfiction; the earlier ones include "My African
Journey", "The People's Rights", and a six-volume series
called "The World Crisis". Name him.
* E. Not *That* Toronto
E1. Which state """has""" the largest City of Toronto in the US,
the birthplace of actor Robert Urich?
E2. In Ontario, the City of Toronto was formed in the old
Township of York, but there was a Township of Toronto
elsewhere. What """present-day""" city largely coincides
with that old Toronto Township?
* F. On the Movies
These are movies whose titles begin with "On the".
F1. This 1949 musical includes the song lyric, "The Bronx is up
and the Battery's down. The people ride in a hole in the
ground."
F2. This 1959 drama includes a subplot where a submarine is
sent to San Francisco to investigate a radio transmission
from a city where everyone is supposed to be dead.

I have not attempted to find a newer version of the list to see how
their present idea of the all-time top 20 may have changed; as this
round refers to the specific albums described, the answers aren't
affected anyway.

Operation Overlord. Also accepting Operation Neptune, the initial
phase of the main attack. 4 for everyone.

The starting date of any particular operation. 4 for Joshua,
Dan Blum, Pete, Dan Tilque, and Stephen.
As Dan Tilque noted, the idea is that it allows schedules to be
written using D-1, D+2, etc., without rewriting everything if the
date changes, as did happen with Overlord. The D stands for "Day",
as in the "day D" that a scientist might write instead.

(Roy) Riegels. I accepted both "Riggles" and "Reigles" as almost
close enough, but a first name alone was not. 4 for Stephen.
3 for Joshua.

John Buchan (or Lord Tweedsmuir). The novel was "The Thirty-Nine
Steps".
Incidentally, Hitchcock's adaptation changed the meaning of the title.
And if you're familiar with the Hitchcock version, then I recommend
the comedy play of the same title, based on it, written in 1995 and
revised in 2005 -- I saw it in London in 2013.

Sir Winston Churchill. 4 for everyone.
Yes, this was the second Winston Churchill question in this game.
"The World Crisis" was about the First World War; his other books
include a six-volume series on the Second World War and a four-volume
"History of the English-Speaking Peoples". The prize was awarded
"for his mastery of historical and biographical description as well
as for brilliant oratory in defending exalted human values".
