These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2015-11-16,
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 the Bloor St. Irregulars,
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 2015-08-18 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".
* Game 8, Round 7 - Entertainment - Male Entertainer or Mom's Female Friend?
Some men have names that sound like they are female names. And some
men are famous. Here are 10 questions about famous men from the
world of entertainment who have names that could be female names.
They sound like they could be my mother's female friends.
Note: *First and last name* required in all cases.
1. This American actor was born in 1959 and starred as Batman in
"Batman Forever", as Jim Morrison in "The Doors", and as Doc
Holliday in "Tombstone".
2. This actor born in 1954 has starred in movies such as "Rush
Hour", "Shanghai Knights", and "Around the World in 80 Days".
3. This singer was born Brian Warner in 1969 and found commercial
success in 1996 with the album "Antichrist Superstar" and the
single "The Beautiful People".
4. This singer was born Vincent Furnier in 1948 and released his
first solo album "Welcome to My Nightmare" in 1975.
5. This Englishman who lived 1906-76 directed movies such as
"The Third Man" and "Oliver!"
6. This actor-director was born in 1956 and has directed movies
such as "The Passion of the Christ" and "Apocalypto".
7. This Canadian-American actor lived 1926-2010 and starred in
movies such as "The Poseidon Adventure" and "Airplane!"
8. This American musician played guitar in Fleetwood Mac, and
wrote and performed "Holiday Road", the theme song to the movie
"National Lampoon's Vacation".
9. This American actor and comedian has done impressions of
George Bush Sr. on "Saturday Night Live", and starred as Garth in
"Wayne's World".
10. This American actor and comedian was also a cast member on
"Saturday Night Live" before he moved to "30 Rock", and last year
was involved in a fatal motor vehicle incident. Fortunately,
he survived.
* Game 8, Round 8 - Science - Replacing Letters of Elements
If you replace letters in the names of elements, you can make
new words. For example, if I said "Element #2, change the last 3
letters to L, make a place of torment in the afterlife" -- that
would be HELIUM and HELL.
In each case, name *either* the element *or* the other word
so formed.
1. Element #92, change the last 3 letters to US, make the name of
a planet.
2. Element #22, change the last 2 letters to C, make the name of
the 1997 movie that won the Best Picture Oscar.
3. Element #8, remove the last 4 letters, make the name of an
animal.
4. Element #88, change the last 3 letters to ON, make element
number #86.
5. Squeezed in between those is element #87. Change the last 3
letters to E, make the name of a country.
6. Element #5, change the last 2 letters to AT, make the name of
a fictional journalist.
7. Element #67, change the last 3 letters to ES, make the last
name of a fictional character whose name has been mentioned in
this game already. (Hope you were listening.)
8. Element #18, change the last letter to S, make the nickname of
one of Toronto's professional sports teams.
9. Element #33, change the last 2 letters to AL, make the name of
a Premier League soccer team.
10. Element #79, change the last letter to F, make the name of a
sport played by approximately 5,000,000 Canadians last year.
