These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2018-04-03,
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 Bill Psychs 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 2017-09-25 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".
** Final, Round 10 - Challenge Round
* A. Phobias
We'll name a phobia; you tell us what it is a fear of.
A1. Emetophobia.
A2. Gymnophobia.
A3. Ballistophobia.
* B. Breakfast Cereal Slogans
We give the advertising slogan; you name the breakfast cereal.
For example, "They're magically delicious" would be Lucky Charms.
B1. "Kid tested, mother approved".
B2. "The Breakfast of Champions".
B3. "Follow my nose. It always knows!"
* C. Born This Day
This game has featured many last words. This triple, though,
is about beginnings. We give the year of birth and a brief
description; you give us the name of the person born on April 3.
C1. Born 1922. American film and TV actress, singer, and
animal-welfare activist. She began her career as a
big-band singer and her first hit recording, in 1945,
was "Sentimental Journey".
C2. Born 1959. An American actor and activist, best known
for his supporting role on a TV spin-off of "Cheers".
He was featured (along with other actors from that show) in
a few episodes of "The Simpsons" as a character called Cecil.
C3. Born 1961. An American comedian, actor, writer, singer,
and producer. Among his notable "Saturday Night Live"
characters was a grown-up version of the "Little Rascals"
character Buckwheat. His first solo leading role was in
"Beverly Hills Cop".
* D. Inaccurate Newspaper Headlines
D1. While later newspaper editions reported a great loss of
life in this disaster, some earlier editions reported that
*no* lives had been lost. What disaster?
D2. In perhaps the most famous inaccurate headline ever, the
"Chicago Tribune" noted that this man had won the presidency
over Harry Truman. Of course the opposite was true.
Name this man.
D3. In December 1956 the "New York Times" ran a headline that
this revolutionary had been killed. He actually died almost
60 years later. Who?
* E. U2 Albums by Tracks
We give three track titles; you provide the album name.
E1. "Two Hearts Beat as One", "New Year's Day", "Sunday Bloody
Sunday".
E2. "Staring at the Sun", "Last Night on Earth", "Discothèque".
E3. "Even Better than the Real Thing", "Mysterious Ways", "One".
* F. 2017 Sports Rookies
F1. Who was the MLB American League Rookie of the Year in 2017?
He was the first rookie to win the Home Run Derby at the
All-Star game.
F2. Who was the NBA Rookie of the Year in 2017? He plays for
the Milwaukee Bucks, and he played college basketball for
the Virginia Cavaliers.
F3. Who was the Associated Press NFL Offensive Rookie of the
Year in 2017? He plays for the New Orleans Saints, and he
played college football for the University of Tennessee.

Mark Brader:
Hearty congratulations!
This is the end of the season written by Bill Psychs, which I have to
say was not one of the most interesting seasons we've had. In a few
minutes I will start QFTCIing the new season, written by What She Said.
I think this one improves after Game 1, but we will start with that.

That one reminds me of a bit of dialogue from the 1990 movie
"The Hunt for Red October". As they enter the missile bay on a
submarine, Ramius (Sean Connery) warns Ryan (Alec Baldwin), "Most
things in here don't react too well to bullets"; and a bit later,
during the inevitable shootout, Ryan remarks to himself: "Yeah,
like me. I don't react well to bullets."

In the original game the words "great loss of life" were in quotation
marks, but I'm not sure if that was correct. That exact phrase is
certainly seen in a famous photo of newsboys,
http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-iZwmepfEaCc/VSqotPIlVFI/AAAAAAAAEQE/viAlZAeEBRw/s1600/Titanic%2BHeadlines.jpg
but it isn't clear whether (1) the "Evening News" gave over its
entire front page to the headline or whether (2) that's actually
a poster to advertise the paper (for example, meant to be attached
to the corners of newsstands) and the front page itself is not in
the picture. I haven't been able to find a copy of the paper's front
page online, or any other that used that exact wording in the headline,
so I removed the quotation marks.
In any case, other papers certainly reported the disaster with
reasonable accuracy given the information available, whether they
used that phrase or not.)
