These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2019-06-17,
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 Unnatural Axxxe 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 2019-01-22 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".
* Game 5, Round 7 - History - Assassins
We tell you the assassin, the year, and something about the place;
you identify the person assassinated.
1. Leon Czolgosz, Buffalo, New York, 1901.
2. Charles J. Guiteau, Baltimore & Potomac Railroad station, 1881.
3. Robert Ford, St. Joseph, Missouri, 1882.
4. Jack McCall, Deadwood, Dakota Territory, 1876.
5. Gavrilo Princip, Sarajevo, 1914.
6. James Earl Ray, Memphis, Tennessee, 1968.
7. Jack Ruby, Dallas, Texas, 1963.
8. Sirhan Sirhan, Los Angeles, 1968.
9. Patrick James Whelan, Ottawa, 1868.
10. Yigal Amir, Tel Aviv, Israel, 1995.
* Game 5, Round 8 - Miscellanous - Jewish Holidays and Practices
1. On which Jewish holiday are Jews ritually obligated to get so
intoxicated they can't tell the difference between the evil
Haman and the righteous Mordechai? The holiday is immortalized
in the movie "For Your Consideration".
2. The name for the Jewish new year literally translates as "Head
of the Year". What is the name of this fall holiday?
3. The 9-armed menorah is associated with which Jewish holiday?
4. What phrase, literally translated as "good stars", is a Hebrew
expression of congratulations?
5. On Shabbat, the challah (bread) is covered while the blessing
over wine is said. Why?
6. At a Passover seder, the plagues visited on Egypt are marked by
the spilling of wine on a plate: one drop for each of the
plagues. How many plagues were there?
7. How many books are there in the Torah?
8. Judaism is filled with early environmentalism. Tu' Bishvat
marks another new year in the Jewish calendar and these days
it is considered a day to celebrate nature. It is the new year
of what?
9. What is Yom HaShoah?
10. This harvest festival has Jews building temporary structures,
in which they eat and (sometimes) sleep. The Hebrew word
for this holiday translates to "booths" or "tabernacles".
Name the holiday.
