These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2015-03-23,
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 (from the first posting).
All questions were written by members of MI5, 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 2015-02-23
companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian Inquisition
(QFTCI*)".
* Game 10, Round 7 - Science - True Blood
1. What is the medical term for blood poisoning?
2. What is the name for the visible condition at birth caused
by a lack of the oxygen in the blood due to a hole in the heart?
The layman's term will do.
3. What does a sphygmomanometer ("SFIG-moh-muh-NOM-uh-ter") measure?
4. What has historically been considered the blood type of a
universal donor?
5. What protein inside red blood cells carries oxygen in the blood
of mammals?
6. There are 3 major types of blood cells: red cells, white cells,
and what else?
7. What is the yellow liquid in which blood cells float?
8. Where are red blood cells made in humans?
9. What vitamin is deficient in patients suffering from pernicious
anemia?
10. What is the name of the group of hereditary genetic disorders
that impair the body's ability to control blood clotting or
coagulation?
After completing the round, please decode the rot13. "Ivgnzva O"

* Game 10, Round 8 - Geography - The Iberian Peninsula
Please see the handout at:
http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/10-8/iber.png
We will give you the name of a city in Spain or Portugal. You tell
which letter on the map matches its location.
1. Valencia.
2. Córdoba.
3. Madrid.
4. Lisboa, aka Lisbon.
5. Bilbao.
6. Porto, aka Oporto.
7. Coimbra.
8. Málaga.
9. Sevilla, aka Seville.
10. Corunna, aka La Coruña.
So there were 6 decoys. Decode the rot13 if you like and identify them
for fun, but for no points.
