These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2016-09-19,
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 Misplaced Modifiers
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 recent companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".
* Game 1, Round 2 - Entertainment - The Boys (and Girls and Dogs) of Summer
This round is about baseball movies. (In this case the term
"movie" includes TV-movies.) We describe it -- you name it.
1. A 1988 dramatization of the "Black Sox" scandal of 1919,
starring John Cusack, John Mahoney, and Charlie Sheen.
2. A player seemingly comes out of nowhere and displays almost
divine talent with the aid of his bat "Wonderboy". 1984,
starring Wilfred Brimley and Robert Redford.
3. 1973. Examines the friendship between a star pitcher and his
half-wit tobacco-chewing catcher as they deal with the catcher's
mortal illness. Starring Michael Moriarty and Robert De Niro.
4. An aimless young petty crook agrees to coach a Chicago
little-league team in order to settle his debts. 2001,
starring Keanu Reeves, Diane Lane, and D.B. Sweeney.
5. A scientist makes a substance which causes a baseball to be
repelled by wood. He becomes a major-league pitcher and wins
the World Series. 1949, starring Ray Milland, Jean Peters,
and Paul Douglas.
6. A losing baseball team gets some supernatural help to become
winners. Original made in 1951 starring Paul Douglas and Janet
Leigh; remade in 1984 with Danny Glover and Brenda Fricker.
7. A 1992 depiction of the All American Girls Baseball League.
Starring Geena Davis, Lori Petty, and Madonna.
8. An aging, down-on-his-luck ex-minor leaguer coaches a team
of misfits in an ultra-competitive California Little League.
Starring Walter Matthau, Tatum O'Neal, and Jackie Earle Haley.
Billy Bob Thornton starred in an ill-considered 2005 remake.
9. A 2001 movie starring Barry Pepper and Thomas Jane, about the
race between Roger Maris and Mickey Mantle to break Babe Ruth's
single-season home run record.
10. 2013 story of Jackie Robinson's historic breaking of the
major-league color barrier with the Brooklyn Dodgers.
Starring Chadwick Boseman and Harrison Ford.
* Game 1, Round 3 - Canadiana - Canadian Logos Past and Present
Ottawa advertising agency Northern Army has created a website
to collect what they consider to be the best logos in Canada --
"preserved in the moment in time we felt they were at their
best. Some of them are no longer in use, or have been updated,
for better or worse."
Please see the handout at:
http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/1-3/logos/logos.pdf
In each case, we give you the number of the logo; you tell us
the organization, company, government department, agency, event,
program, or group that is (or was) represented by that logo.
In some cases short forms are sufficient. If you aren't sure
of the correct long form, you can try just giving a short form;
but I'll also allow you to give *within a single guess* a short
form and a corresponding long form, in which case I'll look only
at the one that fits the type of answer required. If you do this,
please put one of the forms in parentheses so I can be sure they
aren't two separate guesses.
I've rearranged the round in order by logo number. As you see,
there were 22 decoys, which are now interspersed with the others;
identify those logos if you like for fun, but for no points.
