These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2017-10-23,
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 Smith & Guessin' 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*)".
* Game 5, Round 4 - Arts - Expressionist Picture
Expressionism was a modernist movement, initially in poetry and
painting, originating in Germany at the beginning of the 20th
century. Please see the 2-page handout at:
http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/g5r4/expr.pdf
For questions #1-5 we will give the picture number and the title
and date, and you must provide the name of the painter.
1. Picture #3, "The Scream" (1893).
2. Picture #11, "Color Study" (1913).
3. Picture #13, "Twittering Machine" (1922).
4. Picture #7, "The Intrigue" (1896).
5. Picture #1, self-portrait (1973).
After completing #1-5, please decode the rot13 for #6-10. This time
we'll give the artist's name, nationality, and lifespan, and you
must tell us which picture he made.
6. Bfxne Xbxbfpuxn, Nhfgevna (1886-1980).
7. Rzvy Abyqr, Trezna (1867-1956).
8. Znep Puntnyy, Ehffvna (1887-1985).
9. Bggb Qvk, Trezna (1891-1969).
10. Reafg Yhqjvt Xvepuare, Trezna (1880-1938).
And if you like, for fun but for no points, after completing the
round decode the rot13 to answer in the same way for the 3 decoys:
11. Znk Crpufgrva, Trezna (1891-1955).
12. Senam Znep, Trezna (1880-1916).
13. Nhthfg Znpxr, Trezna (1887-1914).
* Game 5, Round 6 - Sports - The World Series
The Series starts this week. What else did you expect?
Note: if any of the facts have changed since the original game,
I will accept answers that were correct on the original game date.
Also, in all cases where a team name is asked for, give the current
full name, e.g. "New York Yankees".
1. The Most Valuable Player award for the World Series has a
new name this year. It was recently renamed in honor of a Hall
of Fame outfielder who is 5th on the all-time home-run list.
Name this player, who appeared in 4 World Series but was on
the winning side only once.
2. The attendance record for a World Series game was set in 1959,
when the Los Angeles Dodgers played the Chicago White Sox at
the L.A. Coliseum. Within 5,000, how many people attended
Game 5 of that series?
3. The New York Yankees have won a record 27 World Series titles.
Which team is second with 11 championships?
4. Currently there are only two teams that have never played in
a World Series. Name either one.
5. There are six teams that have reached the World Series, but
have never won. Name any one.
6. Many fans consider Game 6 of the 1975 Series between Boston and
Cincinnati the greatest World Series game ever. Name the Red
Sox catcher who provided the final thrill with a 12th-inning
home run off the left-field foul pole at Fenway Park.
7. Only two managers have won World Series with teams in both
major leagues. One did it in the 1970s and '80s, while the
other accomplished his feat in 1989 and 2011. Name either.
8. What World Series record is shared by this quartet: Babe Ruth,
Reggie Jackson, Albert Pujols ["POO-holes"], Pablo Sandoval?
9. Which New York Yankee Hall of Famer won a record 10 World Series
championships as a player? Hint: They came between 1947
and 1962.
10. Name either of the two Toronto Blue Jays who were named World
Series MVPs in 1992 and 1993.
