These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2018-03-05,
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*)".
* Game 7, Round 7 - Arts - Album Titles by Track Names

* Game 7, Round 8 - Geography - Walled Cities of the World
Please see the 2-page handout at:
http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/7-8/wall.pdf
I have rearranged the questions in order of the photos. There were
2 decoys, which are interspersed with the others; you may answer
the decoys if you wish for fun, but for no points.
In each case just name the *present-day country* where the walled
city is located. (Or if you want to show off, name the city *and*
country.)
1. [Photo A] (decoy)
2. [B] This city boasts 87 towers and a sentry path along its
ramparts. It's also notable for having an intact exterior wall,
unlike most walled cities, which suffer from breaks or damage.
3. [C] With its first fortifications constructed around 1044 and
the current fortress built in the 15th century, this is one of
the oldest and best-preserved walled cities in Eastern Europe.
It is known as the birthplace of its country.
4. [D] Located in the Sous Valley, this town is entirely enclosed
by ramparts. Sometimes called "Little Marrakesh", the city's
famous red-mud walls hide a lively souq and market scene with
views of the snowy High Atlas Mountains beyond.
5. [E] This 11th-century walled fort looks a bit like a sandcastle,
nicknamed the "Golden City" after its characteristic sandy hue.
Over 5,000 people still live and work inside its walls, making
this remote destination worth the trek.
6. [F] This island city, with some interruptions under frequent
occupations by other powers, served as its country's capital
from antiquity until the medieval period. The city is still
confined within its medieval walls, and has a population of
just under 300. According to tradition it was here that in
60 AD the Apostle St. Paul is said to have lived after being
shipwrecked on the Islands.
7. [G] No longer a sleepy, under-the-radar sea town, this UNESCO
World Heritage Site managed to survive a major earthquake in
1667 and the armed conflict of the 1990s. Take a walk along
the well-preserved city walls and enjoy the gorgeous ocean views.
8. [H] Sometimes referred to as the "Manhattan of the Desert"
for its tiny alleys and soaring towers, this 1,700-year-old
city used sun-dried mud brick walls to create a walled fortress.
According to UNESCO, this is one of the oldest and best examples
of urban planning based on vertical construction.
9. [I] According to UNESCO, the 32-foot-high brick walls protect
the inner town of the old Khiva oasis, the last resting-place
of caravans before crossing the desert to Iran.
10. [J] This walled medieval city is perched atop a hill.
With stone fortifications, the city has 14 tower houses built
between the 11th and 13th centuries as power symbols of wealthy
merchant families.
11. [K] (decoy)
12. [L] A fortified settlement has existed since before the Roman
period, on the hill where the town now stands. In its present
form, it is an outstanding example of a medieval fortified town,
with its massive defences encircling the castle, cathedral and
the surrounding buildings. The city is remarkably well preserved
thanks to the restoration campaign of one of the founders of
the modern science of conservation, and is designated as a
UNESCO Heritage Site.

For your convenience I'm showing the city as well as the country in
the answers. Only one entrant successfully named the city, and then
only once -- Erland on #7.
This was the hardest round in the original game.

Pingyao, China.
