These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 1998-02-02,
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*)".
* Game 2, Round 1 - Current Events (excerpt)
Answer these 1998 questions if you like for fun, but for no points.
1. Which two computer manufacturers announced a possible merger
this week?
2. Who was the MVP of last weekend's Super Bowl?
I did not write either of these rounds.
* Game 2, Round 2 - Science - Metabolism
1. Metabolic reactions are of two sorts. In catabolic reactions,
energy is used to build complex molecules from simple molecules.
What other kind of reaction *releases* energy in the course of
*breaking down* complex molecules *into* simpler molecules?
2. Cellular chemical reactions are mediated or catalyzed by these
special proteins. What are they called?
3. This molecule is the major carrier of biologically utilizable
energy in all forms of living matter. Name the compound or its
common abbreviation.
4. Yeasts and certain other microorganisms produce <answer 3> by
an inefficient method, which creates as its waste products such
compounds as lactic acid and alcohol. What is this process
called?
5. Both plant and animal cells contain large numbers of one kind of
structure that serves as the cell's powerhouse. They are the main
site where energy is created by the breaking down of compounds
into <answer 3>. What are they called?
6. In photosynthesis, plant cells use light energy in the production
of <answer 3> and carbohydrates. This process occurs in
structures that contain chlorophyll; what are they called?
7. This cycle is the terminal stage of the chemical processes by
which living cells break down foodstuffs and obtain energy from
them. Its reactions were first completely formulated in 1937.
What is the cycle called?
8. When proteins are broken down to be used as energy-producing
compounds, nitrogen must first be removed from them. In most
fishes, amphibians, and mammals, its compounds are detoxified
in the liver and the nitrogen is excreted in the urine as part
of what substance?
9. One type of sugar is the main energy source for the body and the
major free sugar circulating in the blood of the higher animals.
One name for this sugar is dextrose. What is the other?
10. What is the term for neutral fats, the major components of
storage fats in plant and animal cells, consisting of the alcohol
glycerol linked to three molecules of fatty acids?
* Game 2, Round 3 - Canadiana Sports - The Ben Johnson Story
(Not Likely to be Made into a Major Motion Picture)
1. A Canadian runner and hurdler left Seoul, skipping one of his
events, shortly after Ben Johnson's disqualification. Who is he?
2. After the Johnson scandal broke, the Canadian bronze medalist
in the decathlon at Seoul was publicized as a drug-free hero.
Name this athlete.
3. Who originally took 3rd place in the 100 m in the Seoul Olympics,
behind Ben Johnson and Carl Lewis?
4. Who was Johnson's sprinting coach in the Seoul Olympics?
5. Sprinter Angella Issajenko testified to the Dubin Inquiry that
she often gave Ben Johnson steroids. Name the method she used.

6. According to the testimony at the Dubin Inquiry, what role
"""does""" vinegar have in a """modern""" athletic conditioning
program?
7. Name the medical doctor who prescribed drugs for Ben Johnson
and his teammates.
8. What was Ben Johnson's disqualified winning time in the 100 m
at the Seoul Olympics?
9. Name the steroid that the testing lab announced it had found in
Ben Johnson's urine at Seoul.
10. The minister of amateur sport promised as soon as the drug
results came in that Johnson would never again run for Canada.

in digestion. 4 for Dan Blum and Dan Tilque.

Linford Christie (UK), who tested positive for pseudoephedrine in

Jean Charest.
That was in Brian Mulroney's Progressive Conservative government; from
1993 to 1998 Charest was the leader of what was left of the party.
He then switched to provincial politics with the Quebec Liberal Party,
and became premier there 2003-12.
