These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2016-07-25,
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 Usual Suspects 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 2016-05-31 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".
I wrote both of these rounds.
* Game 10, Round 9 - Science - Tanquam e Naribus Leonem
When Johann Bernoulli saw how the problem of the brachistochrone
had been solved, he immediately identified the anonymous author as
Isaac Newton, remarking in Latin: "I recognize the lion by his paw".
In this round you will similarly have to identify the type of each
animal -- but not by its paw. Here's your handout:
http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/10-9/leonem.jpg
In all cases on this round the one-word common term will be
sufficient; for example, zebra, not Grevy's zebra. And, credit
where due: both the concept and the photo array are taken directly
from sporcle.com.
Here I'm rearranging the questions in order by picture. There were
10 decoys, some of them very easy; identify these if you like for
fun, but for no points.

** Game 10, Round 10 - Trials and Challenges
The categories for this round are: Trials, Trial, Try Al,
Challenged, Challenging, and Challenges.
* A. Literature: Trials
In 2013 the Journal of the American Bar Association convened a
panel to name the 25 best law-related novels of all time. #1 on
the list was "To Kill a Mockingbird". We will ask about two others.
A1. This novel by Charles Dickens, #3 on the list, features
a seemingly endless trial over an inheritance: the case of
Jarndyce versus Jarndyce, or as they would pronounce it in
England, "Jarndyce and Jarndyce". Name it.
A2. Novel #6 on the list is by Herman Melville. An inarticulate
young seaman falsely accused of a crime throws a single punch
at his accuser, an officer named Claggart--and Claggart dies.
Captain Vere has no option under the law but to try the
sailor for murder. Name the book.
* B. History: Trial
B1. After World War II ended, leading figures in the Nazi
regime were put on trial as "major war criminals" by an
"International Military Tribunal" in Nuremberg. Why not
in Berlin?
B2. The trial of "major war criminals" was only the first of
a series of 12 prosecutions at Nuremberg, but it is the one
we're asking about. 21 men faced charges such as war crimes,
crimes against humanity, and waging aggressive war, and a
22nd man who could not be found was tried "in absentia".
Of the 22, 3 were acquitted; 7 were sentenced to prison,
and 12 to death. Name *any one* of the 12 who were sentenced
to death.
* C. Entertainment: Try Al
These questions will each be about a specific movie. We won't
give you the title, but we won't ask you for it either; you'll
have to name someone who appears in the movie.
C1. Name the singer and actor who in 1927 uttered the famous
line: "Wait a minute, wait a minute. You ain't heard
nothing yet!"
C2. Name the actor who in 1979, as a lawyer pushed past his
breaking point, shouts to the judge: "*You're* out of order!
*You're* out of order! The *whole trial* is out of order!"
* D. Canadiana: Challenged
D1. Terry Fox became famous when he set out to cross Canada
on foot -- which is to say, on his one remaining foot and a
prosthetic limb -- only to fail because his cancer returned.
Within 2, what year was that?
D2. Another Canadian whose leg was amputated went on to become
premier of his province. In his case it wasn't cancer
but necrotizing fasciitis -- the "flesh-eating disease".
Who was he?
* E. Geography: Challenging
E1. If you tried to travel from here to, say, Argentina, in an
ordinary car, the farthest you could get is a town called
Yaviza. The next 100 km (60 miles) or so is difficult
country with swamps and forests that no one has ever found
the money to put a road through, and for environmental
reasons some feel it should never be done. Either give
the name of this gap in the road system of the Americas,
or just say what country Yaviza is in.
E2. Another place where it's difficult to travel, though at
least there are some roads these days, is a type of terrain
that can be found in the southwestern part of South Dakota,
among other places. In that particular place, you'll find
a national park named for that type of difficult terrain.
What is that name?
* F. Sports: Challenges
Some trophies, such as our league's Christmas Cup, are awarded
on a regular basis to whichever contenders perform best on that
occasion. But others are challenge trophies, meaning that for a
contender to win the trophy, they must first declare a challenge
and then beat the previous holder. These two questions are about
challenge trophies.
F1. This trophy was a challenge trophy for the first 20 years or
so that it existed, and was contested over 40 times during
that period. Today, though, it represents the annual
championship of a single major sports league that did not
even exist during that earlier era. Name the trophy.
F2. This trophy was first awarded in 1851 and its name
commemorates its first winner. A few years later it was
made a challenge trophy, but in about 160 years since then,
it has only been contested 34 times. The 35th time will
be next year in Bermuda. What trophy?

Mark Brader:
Congratulations to DAN BLUM, who, if there are no errors, has
squeaked out a win by 3 points over Joshua Kreitzer.
> I wrote both of these rounds.
If you can call the way I constructed Round 9 "writing", that is.
The title and preamble were mine, anyway.
> * Game 10, Round 9 - Science - Tanquam e Naribus Leonem
> When Johann Bernoulli saw how the problem of the brachistochrone
> had been solved, he immediately identified the anonymous author as

Specifically, from:

Horse. (Tanquam e naribus equum.) 4 for Björn, Joshua, Marc,

Koala. (Tanquam e naribus phascolarctam#.) Nobody got this,
although the koala was guessed for some other answers.
> 20. T.
Rhinoceros. (Tanquam e naribus rhinocerotem.) 4 for Björn, Dan Blum,
Jason, Marc, Calvin, Bruce, and Pete.
The three animals marked # were, of course, not known in ancient
Rome; in these cases my Latin is based on the likely inflection of
their modern genus names.

The city was so damaged in the war that no sufficiently large
courthouse was in usable condition. 4 for Joshua, Erland, Gareth,
Dan Tilque, and Pete. 3 for Dan Blum.

Martin Bormann, Hans Frank, Wilhelm Frick, Hermann Goering,
Alfred Jodl, Ernst Kaltenbrunner, Wilhelm Keitel, Joachim von
Ribbentrop, Alfred Rosenberg, Fritz Sauckel, Arthur Seyss-Inquart,
Julius Streicher. 4 for Peter, Björn, Dan Blum, Jason, Dan Tilque,
and Pete. 3 for Calvin.
Goering committed suicide before the execution, and the missing
Bormann turned out to have been dead all along. The other 10 were
hanged on 1946-10-16.
As to the wrong answers: Karl Dönitz was sentenced to 10 years.
Heinrich Himmler committed suicide soon after he was captured.
And Adolf Eichmann was also missing, and was not tried in absentia;
but the Israelis eventually captured him in 1960, tried him in 1961,
and executed him in 1962.

Al Jolson (in "The Jazz Singer"). 4 for Joshua, Dan Blum, Jason,
Marc, Gareth, Calvin, Dan Tilque, Bruce, and Pete.
The movie was originally intended to have sound only for the musical
numbers, with dialogue conveyed by intertitles as was usual for silent
movies, and most of it was in fact made that way. Jolson's spoken
line was a last-minute addition.

(Challenge trophy 1893-1914, awarded annually based on prearranged
playoffs between various leagues 1915-26, awarded annually based on
NHL playoffs since 1927.)

Congratulations to DAN BLUM, who, if there are no errors, has
squeaked out a win by 3 points over Joshua Kreitzer.

The title and preamble were mine, anyway.

Dog. (Tanquam e naribus canem. It's a bloodhound, but I'm accepting

The three animals marked # were, of course, not known in ancient
Rome; in these cases my Latin is based on the likely inflection of
their modern genus names.
> ** Game 10, Round 10 - Trials and Challenges
> The categories for this round are: Trials, Trial, Try Al,
> Challenged, Challenging, and Challenges.
> * A. Literature: Trials
> In 2013 the Journal of the American Bar Association convened a
> panel to name the 25 best law-related novels of all time. #1 on
> the list was "To Kill a Mockingbird". We will ask about two others.
> A1. This novel by Charles Dickens, #3 on the list, features
> a seemingly endless trial over an inheritance: the case of
> Jarndyce versus Jarndyce, or as they would pronounce it in
> England, "Jarndyce and Jarndyce". Name it.
Dan Blum.
> A2. Novel #6 on the list is by Herman Melville. An inarticulate
> young seaman falsely accused of a crime throws a single punch
> at his accuser, an officer named Claggart--and Claggart dies.
> Captain Vere has no option under the law but to try the
> sailor for murder. Name the book.
> * B. History: Trial
> B1. After World War II ended, leading figures in the Nazi
> regime were put on trial as "major war criminals" by an
> "International Military Tribunal" in Nuremberg. Why not
> in Berlin?
courthouse was in usable condition. 4 for Joshua, Erland, Gareth,
Dan Tilque, and Pete. 3 for Dan Blum.
> B2. The trial of "major war criminals" was only the first of
> a series of 12 prosecutions at Nuremberg, but it is the one
> we're asking about. 21 men faced charges such as war crimes,
> crimes against humanity, and waging aggressive war, and a
> 22nd man who could not be found was tried "in absentia".
> Of the 22, 3 were acquitted; 7 were sentenced to prison,
> and 12 to death. Name *any one* of the 12 who were sentenced
> to death.
Alfred Jodl, Ernst Kaltenbrunner, Wilhelm Keitel, Joachim von
Ribbentrop, Alfred Rosenberg, Fritz Sauckel, Arthur Seyss-Inquart,
Julius Streicher. 4 for Peter, Björn, Dan Blum, Jason, Dan Tilque,
and Pete. 3 for Calvin.
Goering committed suicide before the execution, and the missing
Bormann turned out to have been dead all along. The other 10 were
hanged on 1946-10-16.
As to the wrong answers: Karl Dönitz was sentenced to 10 years.
Heinrich Himmler committed suicide soon after he was captured.
And Adolf Eichmann was also missing, and was not tried in absentia;
but the Israelis eventually captured him in 1960, tried him in 1961,
and executed him in 1962.
> * C. Entertainment: Try Al
> These questions will each be about a specific movie. We won't
> give you the title, but we won't ask you for it either; you'll
> have to name someone who appears in the movie.
> C1. Name the singer and actor who in 1927 uttered the famous
> line: "Wait a minute, wait a minute. You ain't heard
> nothing yet!"
Marc, Gareth, Calvin, Dan Tilque, Bruce, and Pete.
The movie was originally intended to have sound only for the musical
numbers, with dialogue conveyed by intertitles as was usual for silent
movies, and most of it was in fact made that way. Jolson's spoken
line was a last-minute addition.
> C2. Name the actor who in 1979, as a lawyer pushed past his
> breaking point, shouts to the judge: "*You're* out of order!
> *You're* out of order! The *whole trial* is out of order!"
Marc, Gareth, Dan Tilque, Bruce, and Pete.
> * D. Canadiana: Challenged
> D1. Terry Fox became famous when he set out to cross Canada
> on foot -- which is to say, on his one remaining foot and a
> prosthetic limb -- only to fail because his cancer returned.
> Within 2, what year was that?
and Calvin. 2 for Pete.
> D2. Another Canadian whose leg was amputated went on to become
> premier of his province. In his case it wasn't cancer
> but necrotizing fasciitis -- the "flesh-eating disease".
> Who was he?
> * E. Geography: Challenging
> E1. If you tried to travel from here to, say, Argentina, in an
> ordinary car, the farthest you could get is a town called
> Yaviza. The next 100 km (60 miles) or so is difficult
> country with swamps and forests that no one has ever found
> the money to put a road through, and for environmental
> reasons some feel it should never be done. Either give
> the name of this gap in the road system of the Americas,
> or just say what country Yaviza is in.
Dan Tilque, and Pete. 3 for Dan Blum and Calvin. 2 for Björn
and Gareth.
> E2. Another place where it's difficult to travel, though at
> least there are some roads these days, is a type of terrain
> that can be found in the southwestern part of South Dakota,
> among other places. In that particular place, you'll find
> a national park named for that type of difficult terrain.
> What is that name?
> * F. Sports: Challenges
> Some trophies, such as our league's Christmas Cup, are awarded
> on a regular basis to whichever contenders perform best on that
> occasion. But others are challenge trophies, meaning that for a
> contender to win the trophy, they must first declare a challenge
> and then beat the previous holder. These two questions are about
> challenge trophies.
> F1. This trophy was a challenge trophy for the first 20 years or
> so that it existed, and was contested over 40 times during

and Pete. 3 for Calvin.
(Challenge trophy 1893-1914, awarded annually based on prearranged
playoffs between various leagues 1915-26, awarded annually based on
NHL playoffs since 1927.)
> F2. This trophy was first awarded in 1851 and its name
> commemorates its first winner. A few years later it was
