These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2018-05-28,
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 What She Said 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 2018-07-16 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".
* Game 2, Round 2 - Geography - International Airport Codes
The International Air Transport Association identifies airports
by three-letter codes. For questions #1-8, We give you the code
and you tell us the main city that airport servess. For example,
if we said "YYZ", you would say "Toronto".
1. LGA.
2. ORD.
3. NRT.
4. TXL.
5. JNB.
6. DXB.
7. YYT.
8. YQR.
9. FAT is the code for Fresno's airport, in which US state?
10. DAD is the code for Da Nang International, in which country?
* Game 2, Round 3 - History - Long Live the Queen
In honor of Victoria Day, here is a round on that busy lady,
Queen Victoria.
1. Queen Victoria's husband, Prince Albert, was an obscure German
prince before he married her. Even though they weren't from the
Ozarks, Victoria and Albert were related before they even met.
What was that relationship, exactly?
2. Victoria was a carrier of an illness which became known as the
"royal disease", due to the high number of her descendants
afflicted by it. The first instance of this disease in Britain's
royal familiar was diagnosed in Prince Leopold, Victoria and
Albert's 8th child. What is this disease?
3. Queen Victoria was the last British monarch from which German
royal house?
4. Until 2015-09-09, Queen Victoria was the longest-reigning British
monarch and the longest-reigning queen regnant in world history.
Ignoring parts of a year and within 2 years, how long did
she reign?
5. Queen Victoria was Queen of Great Britain and Ireland from
her accession until her death. On 1876-05-01 she adopted an
additional title, and subsequent British monarchs followed suit
until 1948. What was this title?
6. Queen Victoria began life as Princess Alexandrina Victoria.
She was born at home in what was originally a two-story
Jacobean mansion built in 1605. Victoria lived in this
home until she became queen and moved to Buckingham Palace.
Today her childhood home is the official residence of the Duke
and Duchess of Cambridge, and the new Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
What is the name of this residence?
7. Despite her apparent grief and 40-year mourning following
Albert's untimely death, Victoria developed and maintained a
close relationship with a Scottish servant. There were even
rumors that they had secretly married. Name him.
8. In 1887, four years after <answer 7>'s death, Queen Victoria
developed a close relationship with an Indian servant, which
lasted until her own death. Who was this servant?
9. What did Queen Victoria wear at her wedding, which immediately
became the choice of elite brides? The tradition carries on
to this day, for elites and commoners alike.
10. What Canadian lake is named for Victoria and Albert's 6th child,
the future Duchess of Argyll?
