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 2 - Canadiana - Official Provincial/Territorial Whatevers
Every province lends its name to random objects. There are official
provincial flowers, animals, rocks, trees, and for all we know,
hamburgers. In this round, we'll name some official things,
you name the province or territory.
1. Official motto: Fortis et liber ("strong and free").
Official flower: Wild Rose.
Official mineral: Petrified Wood.
2. Official bird: The Atlantic Puffin.
Official flower: Purple Pitcher Plant.
Official animal: Caribou.
3. Official flower: Pacific Dogwood.
Official animal: Spirit Bear.
Official fish: Pacific Salmon
4. Official flower: Lady's Slipper.
Official bird: Blue Jay.
Official motto: Parva sub ingenti ("the small under the
protection of the great", or more literally, "the small under
cover of the enormous").
5. Official flower: Blue Flag Iris.
Official bird: Snowy Owl.
Official tree: Yellow Birch.
6. Official bird: Rock Ptarmigan.
Official animal: Canadian Eskimo Dog.
Official symbol: Inukshuk.

Official animal: Arctic Grayling.
Official mineral: Diamond.
* Game 5, Round 3 - Entertainment - What Were They Thinking?: Race Edition
Those were different times -- in one case a whole 6 years ago.
Here's a round of some famous people playing *way* outside their
lane, racially speaking. For your convenience I've sorted the
round in order of the handout:
http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/5-3/race.jpg
There was one decoy, which is now interspersed with the others.
Answer it if you like for fun, but for no points.
1. The actor in A is Warner Oland, a Swedish-American. Who is
he playing?
2. Name the famous non-Japanese actor in B, from the 1961 movie
"A Majority Of One".
3. Call it racism of the mind. The actors in C, Freeman Gosden
and Charles Correll, were the radio voices of a couple of
African-American characters in a situation comedy from 1928
to 1943. Name that show.
4. Another fine movie choice. Name the actor in D.
5. Even made up to look Asian, you know the actor in E is John
Wayne. Who is he playing?
6. (Decoy) Name the Katharine Hepburn movie in F.
7. Name the actor in G, from the 1956 movie "The Teahouse of the
August Moon".
8. Mickey Rooney said he "forgave" those who criticized him for
playing this Japanese guy. Name movie H.
9. Only the kid in I is Asian. The actors are Luise Rainer and
Paul Muni. Name the movie.
10. And, turnabout being fair play, here, in J, are the stars of
"White Chicks" (2004). Name *either* of the African-American
actors who play those white chicks.
11. Name the actor in K, who's playing a Mexican here in an Orson
Welles movie.
