These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2019-11-18,
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 Red Smarties 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 2019-10-16 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".
* Game 9, Round 2 - Canadiana Geography - Port Towns in Ontario
All these towns or communities are in Ontario and have names that
start with "Port". Name them.
1. This community is on the north shore of Lake Erie, in the
Municipality of Bayham in Elgin County. It is situated at the
mouth of Big Otter Creek, which stretches more than 40 miles
north through Bayham to Tillsonburg and Otterville.
2. This town in Norfolk County is located on Lake Erie, adjacent
to Long Point. The lakeside community has a population of
under 1,500 people and sports a number of traditional small
businesses such as Twin's Ice Cream Parlour, which has been
operating there for decades.
3. This city is located on Lake Erie, at the southern end of the
Welland Canal, in the Niagara Region. The original settlement,
known as Gravelly Bay, dates from 1832.
4. This is a municipality in Southern Ontario, about 109 km east
of Toronto and 159 km west of Kingston. It is located at the
mouth of the Ganaraska River on the north shore of Lake Ontario,
in the west end of Northumberland County.
5. This unincorporated community and former town is located in
Norfolk County, on the north shore of Lake Erie. It hosts tens
of thousands of people every Friday the 13th for the Friday the
13th Motorcycle Rally, which was started in November 1981 by a
local bike shop owner named Chris Simons at what was then the
Commercial Hotel on Main St.
6. This community lies on the shores of Lake Huron, in Bruce County.
Originally named Normanton, when it was incorporated in 1874 the
town was renamed after James Bruce, a former Governor-General
of the Province of Canada.
7. This is an unincorporated community in the Township of Muskoka
Lakes. It has been the municipal seat of the township since
1971. It has several hundred year-round residents and is a
service center for thousands of other seasonal residents in
the area.
8. This a community, on the shores of Georgian Bay, is located in
the Simcoe County township of Tay. Established in 1908 as a
port on the southern shores of Georgian Bay, it was made the
home port of the Canadian Pacific Railway's Great Lakes services,
replacing Owen Sound as by their eastern terminus.
9. This community on Lake Scugog serves as the administrative and
commercial center for Scugog Township. The town is home to
a 24-bed hospital, the township's offices, and many retail
establishments.
10. This is a neighborhood in the south-central part of the City
of Mississauga, centered around the mouth of the eponymous river
on the north shore of Lake Ontario. Its main intersection is
Hurontario St. and Lakeshore Rd., about 0.6 km east of the river.
* Game 9, Round 3 - Entertainment - Terms Coined on "Seinfeld"
Name these terms that were coined, or given an extended meaning,
on the TV show "Seinfeld".
1. To give a gift to someone that another person may have given to
you as a gift.
2. To perform this action at a buffet table is equivalent to
"putting your whole mouth right in the dip". Seinfeld gave a
new meaning to this hyphenated term.
3. "Like a creature out of Greek Mythology... part woman, part
horrible beast." This cruel term was applied to Jerry's
girlfriend at the time, who was very attractive and feminine
other than having... what?
4. Not to be confused with the French leave or Irish goodbye,
this word is a greeting given to those at a certain somber event.
5. In question is Elaine's boyfriend Tony, a good-looking yet
vapid man, not much personality or intelligence. What word
was used to describe him?
6. This effect happens when cold temperatures cause blood vessels
in male genitalia to shut down. Another culprit is stress,
since it affects the sympathetic nervous system in a similar
way that cold does. What is it?
7. This term describes the supposed phenomenon of Jewish men being
attracted to non-Jewish or gentile women.
8. In 1995, pharmaceutical company Wyeth ceased production of a
female contraceptive. Elaine stocks up on it and interviews
men to see if they are *what*? Name her term.
9. George's father's alternative to Christmas involves the airing
of grievances (or telling your family members how they've
disappointed you over the year), feats of strength, and an
aluminum pole. Name this holiday.
Sorry, there were only 9 questions in this round. The top score
available will be 36.
