These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2015-06-01,
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 in a single followup to the newsgroup,
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 Five Guys Named Moe, 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 6, Round 2 - History - Automobile Models through History
*Note*: In this round, a "make of car" or "company" refers to
the "marque" or brand, *not* the parent company if its name is
different. For example, a "Volt" is a Chevrolet, not a GM or
General Motors. Note that models with the same name may have
been made by different companies at different times.
1. Name the model that British manufacturer Jowatt made from
1947 to 1953 that *shares its name* with a model that a North
American manufacturer produced from 1968 to 1974. That is,
give that shared name.
For each of the remaining questions, please name the company
(marque) that made all the models named.
2. Citation, Corsair, Pacer, Ranger: this make was short-lived.
3. Champion, Silver Hawk, Lark, Avanti: this American company
opened a plant in Hamilton in 1948.
4. Sovereign, Majestic, DS420: the company was founded in England
in 1896.
5. Cambridge, Princess, Westminster: another English make.
6. Countach, Diablo, Gallardo: a European make.
7. Dauphine, Torino, Fuego.
8. Mondial, Berlinetta, Dino, California.
9. Prowler, Duster, Fury, Cambridge.
10. Ambassador, Classic, Concord, Matador.
* Game 6, Round 3 - Science - Animal Collective Nouns
We'll name a type of animal; you identify the collective noun for
a group of those animals, from the handout list:
Ambush | Congregation | Kettle
Array | Congress | Mischief
Battery | Crash | Mob
Bellowing | Deceit | Parliament
Bloat | Destruction | Plump
Brood | Fall | Shrewdness
Business | Fever | Tower
Caravan | Gaze | Watch
Clattering | Generation | Wisdom
Coalition | Intrusion | Wreck
1. Hippopotamuses.
2. Giraffes.
3. Wildcats.
4. Alligators.
5. Mice.
6. Raccoons.
7. Tigers.
8. Emus.
9. Hedgehogs.
10. Wombats.
(The signature quote below was selected randomly, as usual in
QFTCI, but doesn't it seem as thought it might have a connection
to this round?)

There seems to be some disagreement on this point. I see National Geographic
pages that say "wisdom" (this is where Wikipedia gets it) but others that
say "mob or colony" such as http://animals.nationalgeographic.com/animals/mammals/wombat/
(Not that NatGeo is necessarily the final authority, but I am not seeing any
other citations in a quick search.)
