These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2003-02-03,
and should be interpreted accordingly. All questions were written
by members of the Usual Suspects, but have been reformatted and
may have been retyped and/or edited by me. I will reveal the
correct answers in about 3 days.
For further information, including an explanation of the """
notation that may appear in these rounds, see my 2020-06-23
companion posting on "Reposted Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (RQFTCI*)".
I did not write these rounds.
* Game 3, Round 2 - Arts - Percussion Instruments
The questions in this round refer to the 2-page handout at:
http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/o3/2/dum.pdf
Note that some of the picture numbers are below the pictures, some
are above, some are beside, and one row of numbers seems to have
disappeared altogether! Please consider the last row of pictures
(on page 2) to be #22-24 from left to right.
For the first five questions, you will be provided with the name
of a percussion instrument. We will write it in the singular even
though there may be more than one in the corresponding picture.
Your job, of course, will be to identify the picture by number.
1. Clave (two syllables there).
2. Djembe.
3. Maraca.
4. Snare drum.
5. Sleighbell.
For questions #6-10, please decode the rot13 to see the picture
number, and name the instrument. "Drum" by itself will not be
sufficient for any answer.
6. Vqragvsl ahzore gjryir.
7. Ahzore bar vf jung?
8. Ubj nobhg sbhegrra?
9. Vafgehzrag ahzore ryrira; abgr gung vg unf zrgny xrlf.
10. Naq ahzore gjragl-bar, svanyyl.
Now, there were 12 decoys. If you like, please decode this further
rot13 to see the names of those instruments (again, in the singular)
and in each case give the picture number for fun, but for no points.
11. Puvzr.
12. Svatre plzony.
13. Pbjoryy.
14. Gevnatyr.
15. Onff qehz.
16. Obatb.
17. Engpurg.
18. Gvzonyr.
19. Gvzcnav be xrggyr qehz.
20. Jnfuobneq.
21. Thveb.
22. Pnfnon (be nshpur be nsbkr).
23. Ryrpgebavp qehz xvg.
24. Gnzobhevar.
* Game 3, Round 3 - Entertainment - Casting Against Gender
This round deals with movies in which women have been cast as men,
and vice versa. The same movie may be mentioned more than once.
1. Which voluptuous actress was cast as King Zog of Albania in a
segment of the 1987 film "Aria" that was directed by her husband,
Nicholas Roeg?
2. In "Orlando", based on the book by Virginia Woolf, the title
character mysteriously changes sex from male to female.
Who portrays Orlando?
3. <answer 2> was not the only person playing a character of the
opposite sex in "Orlando". This occasional actor, better known
for his flamboyant personality and well-received autobiography,
was in his 80s when he took on the role of Queen Elizabeth I.
Name him.
4. In which 1959 movie did Peter Sellers play Tully Bascombe,
Prime Minister Count Mountjoy, and Grand Duchess Gloriana XII?
5. Which actress played an Asian man in "The Year of Living
Dangerously" in 1982, despite being neither male nor Asian?
6. Peter Pan was played by which woman in three TV-movies, in 1955,
1956, and 1960?
7. In the 2002 film "Nicholas Nickelby", the role of Mrs. Crummles
is played by Australian actor Barry Humphries, who also """has"""
a regular gig playing a more famous female character. Name this
*other* character.
8. Which actor played eight roles in the 1949 movie "Kind Hearts
and Coronets", one of them, Lady Agatha, being female?
9. In a 1989 time-travel flick, the same actor plays a man, his son,
and his daughter Marlene. Name the actor.
10. We may be cheating a little on this question, but in which 1982
movie did John Lithgow play a male-to-female transsexual?
