These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2019-07-15,
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 8, Round 4 - Miscellaneous - What Car is This?
Please see the handout at:
http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/8-4/what.jpg
For the questions #1-5, we'll give you the make of the car and
nationality and you identify the logo by number.
1. Nissan (Japan).
2. Buick (US).
3. Saab (Sweden).
4. Koenigsegg (Sweden).
5. Chery (China).
For the rest, we'll throw it into reverse. Decode the rot13 to
see the logo numbers, and each case name the brand. I've sorted
this part of the round by logo number for convenience; there were
6 decoys, which are now interspersed with the others. Answer the
decoys if you like for fun, but for no points.

* Game 8, Round 5 - Audio - Protest Songs
To quote the movie "The Wild One":
"What are you rebelling against?"
"What have you got?"
This round features pop songs protesting various things of social
importance. In the original game clips from them were played,
of course, but here I'll generally give you the title and artist
instead. Song #1 involves so many issues, though, that I'll simply
ask you to name the artist.
1. "Eve of Destruction".
For #2-10, then, I'll give you the title and artist, and what you
have to name is the *social issue* that the song is about.
2. "Beds Are Burning" (Midnight Oil).
3. "Hurricane" (Bob Dylan).
4. "Little Boxes" (Pete Seeger).
5. "Signs" (Five Man Electrical Band).
6. "Chicago" (Graham Nash).
7. "Spanish Bombs" (the Clash).
8. "Sunday Bloody Sunday" (U2).
9. "Ohio" (Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young).
10. "Society's Child" (Janis Ian).
* Game 8, Round 6 - Geography - The Hole in the Earth Catalog
Here's a round on famous caves, caverns, and chasms.
1. This series of caverns in New Mexico, in the Chihuahua Desert,
is crowned by the Big Room, a natural limestone chamber 1,200 m
long, 200 m wide, and more than 100 m high. Name those famous
caverns.
2. Part of a US National Park in central Kentucky -- between
Louisville and Bowling Green -- this cave is part of the longest
cave system in the world. Despite its name, no fossils of
large prehistoric mammals have ever been found there. Name it.
3. The Cave of the Swallows (7th-deepest known cave in the world)
and the Cave of Crystals (marked by crystal formations 10 m high)
can both be found in what country?
4. One of the world's most famous and beautiful sea caves is the
Blue Grotto. Name the Mediterranean island off the coast of
Italy where it can be found.
5. In 1829, the composer Felix Mendelssohn visited another
famed sea cave, Fingal's Cave. It inspired him to compose
the Hebrides Overture. Also called Uamh Binh and the Cave of
Melody, you'd find the cave on an island off the coast of where?
6. Considered a world wonder, Waitomo Cave is also called Glowworm
Cave because of abundant luminous tiny organisms that put on
an endless light show. In which Southern Hemisphere country
would you find Waitomo Cave?
7. The Black Chasm, Lake Shasta Caverns, and the Moaning Cavern
can all be found in which US state?
8. The Warsaw Caves, Duncan Crevice Caves, and Bonnechere Caves
are all in which Canadian province?
9. While the Derinkuyu underground city is a man-made series of
underground caves, they are astonishing in their scope, allowing
old Testament peoples and -- centuries later -- early Christians
to live in hiding relatively comfortably in groups of up to
20,000 more than 60 m underground. In which country is this?
10. It's the longest ice cave in the world, at 42 km, though only
the first kilometer is open to tourists. Dimly-lit and misty,
it's apparently a profoundly eerie experience. In which country
would you find the Eisriesenwelt Cave?
