These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2018-07-30,
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 4 days.
All questions were written by members of What She Said 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 2018-07-16 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".
* Game 10, Round 2 - Geography - What's in a Name?
1. Aylmer, Buckingham, Masson-Angers, and Hull were four of the five
Quebec municipalities that merged to form this new city in 2002.
It took the name of the fifth municipality merging, and is now
the fourth-largest city in Quebec. Name it.
2. This historically important and popular tourist town in
southwestern Ontario was once known as Newark. Its present
name was adopted unofficially in the 1880s, and finally becamse
official in 1970. What, then, is the town called now?
3. In the 1960s the former Belgian Congo renamed itself to the
Democratic Republic of the Congo (it later became Zaire for a
while), and also took the initiative to rename many of the cities
that had been established by the Belgians. Léopoldville was
the largest of these cities. What is it called now?
4. The ancient Phoenicians and Romans referred to this city as
Icosium, a name it kept until the 8th century when it was
conquered by the Zirid dynasty of Ifriqiya and renamed. We know
it better as the capital of Algeria -- under what name?
5. The ancient Romans renamed many of the cities they conquered.
One of the most notable was Lutetia, which was originally known
to the Gaulish tribe who founded it as Lucotecia. Around the
3rd century, though, it underwent a gradual renaming, finally
settling on its present-day name -- which is taken from that
Gaulish tribe. What is the name of the city now?
6. This German spa town in the Black Forest was originally known
by its Latin name, Aurelius Aquensis, reflecting the many warm
natural springs in the area. Although there were several changes
over the years, it got its present-day name in 1931. What is it?
7. When the French colonized this African country they named it
Upper Volta, in reference to the Volta River. The country was
renamed in 1984 to reflect its two main languages. To what?
8. The Kingdom of Swaziland is perhaps the most recent country to
change its name. On April 19, 2018, King Mswati III announced
that the country would be changing its name to mark the 50th
anniversary of independence from Britain. This led to a legal
challenge over his the authority to do that, but assuming he did,
what is Swaziland's new name?
9. Prior to its successful war for independence, this South American
country was known as Upper Peru. What is it now?
10. British Columbia received royal assent to change the name
of the Queen Charlotte Islands in 2010. The new name reflects
that the islands are the traditional home of a particular First
Nations people. What are they called now?
* Game 10, Round 3 - Leisure - Cocktails
Many players commented that we didn't include alcohol in our
previous round about recreational drugs, so here you go. We give
the name and ingredients of a cocktail; you please give its number
on the handout:
http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/10-3/cocks.jpg
1. A classic Martini is gin and vermouth, shaken or stirred,
served in cocktail or martini glass with an olive.
2. A Manhattan is sweet vermouth and either rye or bourbon, plus
angostura bitters, in a cocktail glass with a maraschino cherry.
3. To make a Crème de Menthe Frappe, fill a martini or cocktail
glass with shaved ice. Pour crème de menthe over it, and serve
with a short straw.
4. An Old-Fashioned is made by mixing sugar, water, and angostura
bitters in an Old-Fashioned glass, then adding a cherry and an
orange wedge and muddling it all into a paste. Pour in bourbon,
fill with ice cubes, and stir.
5. To make a Pink Lady, shake gin, grenadine syrup, light cream,
and an egg white with ice, then strain into a glass.
6. A Tom Collins isn't just "add the mix" -- it's gin, lemon juice,
and sugar, shaken and strained into a Collins glass half-filled
with ice. Add club soda and stir.
7. To make an Angel's Kiss, carefully pour -- in order --
white crème de cacao, sloe gin, brandy, and light cream into
a pousse-café glass. Then garnish with a cherry.
8. To make a Mint Julep, muddle mint leaves, powdered sugar, and
water in a Collins glass. Fill the glass with shaved or
crushed ice and add bourbon. Top with more ice and garnish
with a mint sprig. Serve with a straw.
9. To make a Grasshopper, shake green crème de menthe, white
crème de cacao, and light cream, then strain into a cocktail
or Martini glass.
10. A Singapore Sling is made by pouring grenadine into the bottom
of a Collins glass, filling it with ice, adding gin, and then
almost filling the glass with equal parts of sour mix and
chilled soda. Top it with cherry brandy, and serve unstirred.

their pictures as well:

Niagara-on-the-Lake.
Its official name from 1797 to 1970 was just Niagara, but this became
a bit confusing after 1881 when Clifton changed *its* name to Niagara
Falls, hence the unofficial change.

Under the rules of Swazi spelling, it's eSwatini; some sources
render it Eswatini. I'm not marking for capitalization anyway.
I decided "eSwazi" was not quite close enough for "almost correct".
4 for Erland and Joshua.
By the way, I have not seen a good source indicating how to
*pronounce* the new name.

(and I think I knew it when it came up in the original game, too, but
it wasn't our question), I somehow scored this one as if Ecuador was
correct.
So, no points on this for anybody. Scores, if there are now no errors:

(and I think I knew it when it came up in the original game, too, but
it wasn't our question), I somehow scored this one as if Ecuador was
correct.
