These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2016-10-17,
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 Misplaced Modifiers
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 2016-11-26 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".
** Game 4, Round 2 - Sports - Extra Time
Most sports have provisions to produce a winner when a game would
otherwise end in a tie. These questions deal with memorable
extra-time feats. Note that where a team is asked for, in each
case the full name is required, e.g. "Toronto Argonauts".
* The first four questions are about hockey.
1. 16 Stanley Cup final series have been decided by an overtime
winning goal. Maybe the most famous goal in hockey history was
the 1970 Cup-winner, scored a mere 40 seconds into overtime.
They call it "the goal". Who scored it?
2. Name the legendary Leafs defenseman whose overtime goal secured
the 1951 Cup. It was the last goal he scored, as he died later
that year in a plane crash.
3. The longest Cup-winning game in hockey history was decided
at 14:51 of triple overtime. What was controversial about Brett
Hull's goal, which won the 1999 Stanley Cup for the Dallas Stars?
4. Which Colorado Avalanche star holds the career record for most
playoff overtime winners, with 8?
* The next two questions are about soccer.
5. If an elimination soccer match ends in a draw, it typically
goes to added time. The unlikely hero of the most recent major
international tournament to be decided by an added-time goal
goes by the name of Éder. For what country's team did he score
the decisive goal?
6. If the soccer match is not decided in added time, the dreaded
shootout ensues. The 2016 men's Olympic soccer gold medal was
decided by shootout. Name the Brazilian star who scored the
shootout winner.
* The next two questions are about American football.
7. NFL elimination games are decided by sudden-death overtime.
While no Super Bowl has ever gone beyond regulation, many
conference championships have. The longest NFL playoff game was
played on Christmas Day, 1971. At 7:40 of double overtime, the
winning field goal was kicked by Garo Yepremian. For which team?
8. The first NFL playoff game to go to sudden death was the 1958
NFL Championship, played in Yankee Stadium. Viewed nationwide
by an estimated audience of 45,000,000, it has been hailed as
"the greatest football game". It ended with a touchdown and a
final score of 23-17. 15 of the players and coaches involved
in the game became Hall of Famers, including Raymond Berry and
Frank Gifford. Name *either* of the teams involved.
* The final two questions deal with baseball.
9. Game 7 of the 1991 World Series, a 1-0 10th-inning victory for
the Minnesota Twins over the Atlanta Braves, featured one of
the great pitching duels in baseball history. The Braves'
starting pitcher and bullpen threw up 9 innings of shutout,
but the Twins' starter went 10 innings for the win. Name either
of the starters.
10. Only three other World Series have been decided in extra
innings, the most recent in 1997, when a flubbed ball by Tony
Fernandez in the 11th inning set the stage for Edgar Renteria's
series-winning RBI. Name either team.
** Game 4, Round 3 - Literature - French Words and Expressions in English
From the description in English, give the French term.
1. A person who attempts to provoke suspected individuals or groups
into committing unlawful acts.
2. A military officer who serves as a personal assistant to a
higher-ranking officer.
3. Conversant or informed. Also, in British usage, familiar.
4. Innovative, especially in the arts.
5. A person who works for a family (cleaning and/or teaching the
children) in exchange for room and board.
6. Someone who lives well, who knows how to enjoy life.
7. Sculpture that is only slightly more prominent than its
background.
8. The golden age of art and culture in France in the early 20th
century.
9. Love letter -- literally a "sweet note".
10. A substitute or replacement diplomat, specifically in the
absence of the ambassador.

Bobby Orr. 4 for Gareth, Marc, Don, and Pete.
He was tripped right after taking the shot, leading to this memorable

Bill Barilko.
And, as you should remember because I've posted a link to this photo
a couple of times before, after taking *his* shot he *also* found
himself in a similar situation: http://i.imgur.com/yj2i7YL.jpg
(That's the referee standing near the net, wearing a necktie and
sweater; zebra stripes weren't introduced until 1955.)

His skate was in the goal crease. 4 for Pete. 3 for Gareth.
The wording and application of the rule on disallowing a goal for
this reason had been changed that season, and was rather confusing.
Here's a comment on the controversy, which I think has it about right:
http://bleacherreport.com/articles/343121-anykey
In response to the controversy, The following season the rule was
changed again. Now the determining factor is no longer the position
or path of the attacking player; it's whether or not, while within
the crease, he interfered with the goalie's ability to defend the
goalmouth.

He was tripped right after taking the shot, leading to this memorable

And, as you should remember because I've posted a link to this photo
a couple of times before, after taking *his* shot he *also* found
himself in a similar situation: http://i.imgur.com/yj2i7YL.jpg
(That's the referee standing near the net, wearing a necktie and
sweater; zebra stripes weren't introduced until 1955.)

The wording and application of the rule on disallowing a goal for
this reason had been changed that season, and was rather confusing.
Here's a comment on the controversy, which I think has it about right:
http://bleacherreport.com/articles/343121-anykey
In response to the controversy, The following season the rule was
changed again. Now the determining factor is no longer the position
or path of the attacking player; it's whether or not, while within
the crease, he interfered with the goalie's ability to defend the
goalmouth.
