These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2017-12-05,
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 Smith & Guessin' 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 2017-09-25 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".
** Final, Round 2 - History
That is: http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/gfr2/his.jpg
* Trudeaus
Some questions about Canada's dynasty.
1. Charles Trudeau was a lawyer, but he amassed the family wealth
in the 1920s by opening a business in the Montreal area with
a loyalty program for customers. By 1932 it had expanded to
over 30 locations. What sort of business was it?
2. Pierre Trudeau earned a law degree from the University
of Montreal in 1943. He then pursued his Master's at another
university, and later recalled in his memoirs his isolation that
led to despair, as a French Catholic living outside of Quebec in
a predominantly Protestant university. What university was this?
3. Justin Trudeau and his brother Alexandre share the same notable
birth date, two years apart. What day is it?
* Chinese Dynasties
4. In 206 BC, the ruling Qin (or Ch'in) dynasty was overthrown.
The first ruler of the newly emerged dynasty, which lasted
until 9, was Liu Bang. The resulting bureaucracy was based on
intellect, instead of noble birth. Name this dynasty.
5. Considered by many historians as the high point in Chinese
civilization, this dynasty lasted from 618 to 907. Name it.
6. After the turmoil of the Five Dynasties period (907-960), this
dynasty arose; it stabilized China and lasted for over 300 years,
until 1279. Name it.
* Name the Empire
Name the empire shown on each map, as of the date marked on the map.
In some cases modern country outlines are also shown, for reference.

* The Knights Templar
10. The "Poor Fellow Soldiers of Christ and of the Temple of
Solomon", or Templars, were a military order validated by
papal bull in 1139. They weren't only prominent in combat and
the Crusades, though. In fact, the majority of their members
were involved in another activity that is said to have led to
their downfall. What was that?
11. Heavily in debt to the Order, this French king is said to
have started rumors against the Templars, and brought false
claims against them to justify arresting leaders of the order and
erasing his debt or seizing their assets. Which king was this?
12. At dawn on an October day in 1307, the arrests of the Templar
Leader Jacques de Molay and scores of other prominent members
of the order were carried out. The date of this action is
claimed by many historians as being the origin of the common
superstition about what?
* Medieval Weaponry
13. See: http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/gfr2/medi/13.jpg
This member of the pole-arm family, the ceremonial weapon
of the pontifical Swiss Guard, was a multifunctional weapon.
It could be used for thrusting or slicing, as well as grappling
or unhorsing an opponent. Historians say this might be the
weapon that killed Richard III at the Battle of Bosworth.
Name it.
14. See: http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/gfr2/medi/14.jpg
Peasants would sometimes fight with the agricultural version
of this weapon, which was used for threshing. It is sometimes
incorrectly called a mace, but that does not have the chain.
There was a one-handed and two-handed version of this weapon.
Name it.
15. See: http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/gfr2/medi/15.jpg
Typically used by the cavalry, this weapon could penetrate
thick armor or chain mail, but the weapon was really heavy,
so it wasn't for use by everyone. Also, the knight had to be
careful because the weapon could be hard to retrieve if it got
stuck in his opponent (or the opponent's armor). Name it.

(And it did last longer than 9 AD, but there was an interreggnum at
this point. The era after the interregnum is usually referred to as
later Han.)

(The author of the book on Chinese history rather seemed to hold Song
as the high point in terms of civilisation, as it was in this period
many good schools were formed and an effort of collecting items of
Chinese culture was initiated. But it terms of territorial control,
Song was way behind Tang - and most other dynasties for that matter.)
