These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on
2019-06-11 [sic], 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 Unnatural Axxxe 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 2019-01-22 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".
* Game 4, Round 2 - Canadiana History - Canada within a Year
Close is good enough in horseshoes and in this round. These events
took place in the 20th century, and you have a one-year leeway on
each one. Answers may repeat.
1. When was the St. Lawrence Seaway opened?
2. When did Nunavut become Canada's newest territory?
3. When were the Dionne quintuplets born?
4. Within a year, how old was Queen Elizabeth II at her accession
to the throne?
5. When did Terry Fox's "Marathon of Hope" take place?
6. When was the federal election voting age lowered from 21 to 18?
(The law change, not the first election under it.)
7. When did the UK Privy Council decide the case of Edwards
v. Canada (Attorney General), ruling that Canadian women are
legally "persons"?
8. When did PEI's Catherine Callbeck become the first woman to
win a general election for a provincial premiership?
9. When did the federal government cancel the development of the
Avro Arrow fighter plane?
10. When did Alec Guinness inaugurate the Stratford Festival with
his performance as Richard III?
* Game 4, Round 3 - Literature - Based on a Novel by...
The following round deals with movies that were based on source
material with different titles. We'll give you one title and ask
you for the other.
1. In book form, the 1961 gothic horror film "The Innocents"
is better known to fans of novelist Henry James as what?
In each of the remaining questions, name the movie.
2. The 1979 hostage thriller "Nothing Lasts Forever" by Roderick
Thorp took place in a Los Angeles office tower and was made into
a 1988 movie that spawned four sequels. Name the first movie.
3. A live-action Disney classic -- made in 1961 with Hayley
Mills and again in 1998 with Lindsay Lohan -- was taken from a
German novel titled "Lottie and Lisa" ("Das doppelte Lottchen").
The same title was used for both movies.
4. John W. Campbell's 1938 sci-fi novella "Who Goes There?" was
made into a movie three times -- in 1951, in 1982, and a prequel
in 2011. Each movie had an Arctic or Antarctic setting, and
the short version of each movie's title was the same. Give that
short title.
5. Marine Corps veteran Gustav Hasford's 1979 novel "The
Short-Timers" was made into what classic 1987 war movie?
6. The Stephen King novella "Cycle of the Werewolf" was made into
a 1985 horror film, also scripted by King, and starring Corey
Haim.
7. In 1968, Ted Hughes wrote a modern fairy tale called "The Iron
Man: A Children's Story in Five Nights". Name the animated
movie it became 31 years later.
8. Rosalind Wiseman's book "Queen Bees and Wannabes" was made into
what 2004 Lindsay Lohan film?
9. Upton Sinclair's 1927 novel "Oil!" was made into which Daniel
Day-Lewis movie?
10. Vikas Swarup's 2005 novel "Q & A" became this Best Picture
Oscar-winning movie.

In the original game the expected answer was 25 but the question
asked about her coronation, with was actually about 16 months later
when she was 27. (Being a purely ceremonial event, it gets delayed
until a convenient date.) I decided to keep the answer and change
the question.
She's now 93, by the way -- see the specially selected non-random
signature quote.

1970 (accepting 1969-71). 4 for Erland. 3 for Joshua.
The first election affected was the one in 1972, which reduced Pierre
Trudeau's government to a minority until the following election.

1929 (accepting 1928-30).
The Supreme Court of Canada, sadly, had ruled the other way, but
at that time Canadian cases could still be appealed to the UK.
The grounds given for the reversal amounted to "Why not?"

Remember, it was the Diefenbaker government that was responsible.
