These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2017-03-06,
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 5 Easy Pieces 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 7, Round 2 - Science - Medical Eponyms, Mostly Tests

1. Developed by an anaesthesiologist, this test is administered
to newborns. Five criteria are examined: appearance, pulse,
grimace, activity, and respiration. Name the test.

2. These contractions, also known as prodromal labor, are typically
felt in the second and third trimester of pregnancy and can
indicate dehydration in the mother. What are they called?

3. Cheyne-Stokes breathing is a pattern of respiration characterized
by a period of absent breathing followed by rapid breathing.
It can occur in individuals with neurological or serious
conditions. Under what circumstances could a healthy person
experience this breathing pattern?

4. Two types of aphasia -- the loss of the ability to produce
language -- are named for the neurologists who discovered the
regions of the brain where language is centred. In one the
patient has difficulty producing words, especially connected
speech; in the other the difficulty is in understanding words.
Name either.

5. The Coombs test is a blood test often performed on the blood
of pregnant women and donated blood samples before transfusion.
What does it test for?

6. Schirmer's test was developed by a German ophthalmologist
and involves a piece of paper inserted in the lower eye pouch.
What does it diagnose?

7. This test involves naming the color of a printed word that
names a different color -- for example, the word RED printed in
blue ink -- under various conditions. It is used to diagnose
attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), depression,
dementia, and other neuro-cognitive deficits. Name the test.

8. This neurological scale is used as an objective way of recording
a patient's state of consciousness. It is based on eye, verbal,
and motor response and is typically used in the ICU or ER.
Part of its name is that of the city and university where
it was developed by Graham Teasdale and Bryan J. Jennett.
Either name that city or give the rest of the name.

9. The Babinski sign is a reflex that is elicited in infants by
stroking the bottom of the foot. When seen in an adult, what
does this test typically indicate?

10. The Mantoux screening test is widely used to diagnose exposure
to this common disease, which is asymptomatic in many cases but
can be deadly in its active form if untreated. Most health-care
workers have the test annually. What disease?


* Game 7, Round 3 - Sports - Partial Team Logos

Please see the handout at:

http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/G7R3/teams.jpg

Each illustration shows *part* of the logo of a team in either
major-league baseball, the National Basketball Association,
the National Football League, or the National Hockey League.
We'll tell you which sport and you must name the team. In all cases
the *full name* is required (for example, "Toronto Argonauts").

I've rearranged the questions in order by image number. There were
15 decoys, which are now interspersed with the rest. Answer the
decoys if you like for fun, but for no points. Note: one of the
decoys is an out-of-date logo that later changed because the team
changed its name, but if you answer that one, you need to give
the full name *as it was* when that logo was in use.

1. (Decoy.) Basketball.
2. (Decoy.) Hockey.
3. (Decoy.) Hockey.
4. (Decoy.) Baseball.
5. (Decoy.) Football.
6. Hockey.
7. (Decoy.) Football.
8. (Decoy.) Hockey.
9. (Decoy.) Basketball.
10. Basketball.
11. Football.
12. (Decoy.) Baseball.
13. (Decoy.) Hockey.
14. Basketball.
15. (Decoy.) Hockey.
16. Football.
17. (Decoy.) Basketball.
18. (Decoy.) Hockey.
19. Hockey.
20. (Decoy.) Basketball.
21. Baseball.
22. (Decoy.) Baseball.
23. Baseball.
24. Baseball.
25. Hockey.

Apgar. 4 for Calvin, Dan Blum, and Joshua.

I've left 5 Easy Pieces' wording of the question alone, but what
they called a list of "five criteria" is really a *mnemonic* for
the criteria -- derived by reinterpreting the eponym as an acronym!
In her original 1952 paper, Virginia *Apgar* identified the five
criteria as: heart rate, respiratory effort, reflex irritability,
muscle tone, color... or in the terms of the mnemonic, "prgaa".

Braxton Hicks. (Both words required; I accepted "Branston".)
4 for Calvin, Dan Blum, and Joshua.

Being at a high elevation. I'm also accepting sleep apnea, because
it was accepted in the original game, although it doesn't exactly
fit with "healthy person". 4 for Calvin.

Broca, Wernicke. 4 for Dan Blum.

Blood type/compatibility. (Also accepting autoimmune blood diseases.)

> What does it diagnose?

Dry eye. (Also accepting dehydration, corneal ulcers, eye infection,
Vitamin A deficiency, and Sjögren's syndrome.)

> * Game 7, Round 3 - Sports - Partial Team Logos

> Please see the handout at:

> http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/G7R3/teams.jpg

> Each illustration shows *part* of the logo of a team in either
> major-league baseball, the National Basketball Association,
> the National Football League, or the National Hockey League.
> We'll tell you which sport and you must name the team. In all cases
> the *full name* is required (for example, "Toronto Argonauts").

And this was the easiest round.

> I've rearranged the questions in order by image number. There were
> 15 decoys, which are now interspersed with the rest. Answer the
> decoys if you like for fun, but for no points. Note: one of the
> decoys is an out-of-date logo that later changed because the team
> changed its name, but if you answer that one, you need to give
> the full name *as it was* when that logo was in use.

And she came up on the following day's episode of "Jeopardy!"!
The category was DRESS LIKE A WOMEN, which referred to different
kinds of occupational garb, and the $2,000 question showed her
photo and asked:

Some women wear white coats and stethoscopes, like the
doctor seen here, who devised this score to rate newborns.

It was answered correctly on the first try -- in fact, the contestant
needlessly gave the doctor's first and last names.
