These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2017-12-05,
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 Smith & Guessin' 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 2017-09-25 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".
** Final, Round 10 - Challenge Round
That is: http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/gfrx/cha.jpg
* A. Art Movements
A1. Name the art movement that originated in England in 1880
and lasted until 1920. It stood for traditional, handmade
craftsmanship using simple forms, and often used medieval,
romantic, or folk styles of decoration. Key artists were
William Morris, Tiffany Studios, and the Newcomb pottery
studio.
A2. Name the art movement that originated in France around 1886
and lasted until about 1905. It emerged partially as a
reaction against the previous movement's insistence on
the natural use of light and color. Its topics were more
abstract and symbolic than real subjects. Key artists were
Paul Gauguin and Georges Seurat.
A3. Name the art movement, also sometimes called "late Baroque",
developed in the early 18th century in France as a reaction
to the grandeur, symmetry, and strict regulations of the
previous movement. Their style was ornate and used light
colors, asymmetrical designs, curves, and gold. Key artists
were Antoine Watteau and Thomas Chippendale
* B. Mathematical Nomenclature
B1. See: http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/gfrx/math/b1.png
The letter Q as shown is used to represent what set of
numbers?
B2. See: http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/gfrx/math/b2.png
This type of rectangular array of numbers is known by
what term?
B3. Everyone knows ÷ as the division sign, but what is its
one-word name? (Yes, in English.)
* C. Name the Kingdom or, again, the Empire
C1. See: http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/gfrx/was/c1.jpg
As a political entity, kingdom A existed in a number of forms
with different boundaries, starting around the 6th century.
It was eventually absorbed by the Swiss Confederation and
the Kingdom of France. Name it.
C2. See: http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/gfrx/was/c2.jpg
Empire B had several incarnations. The first empire was
founded around 681. The empire ended by 1018, surrendering
to the Byzantines. Name it.
C3. See: http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/gfrx/was/c3.jpg
Kingdom C was named after a city which was founded by the
Roman 7th Legion. It eventually became independent after
having been ruled by Visigoths and Moors. It was one of
the first areas to be conquered during the "reconquista"
and existed as a kingdom until 1230.
* D. Ancient Historical Items
D1. See: http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/gfrx/anci/d1.jpg
This object is the one of the oldest surviving records from
ancient Egypt. It's of great importance because it's the
oldest record showing a ruler wearing the crowns of both
Upper and Lower Egypt. Name this object.
D2. See: http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/gfrx/anci/d2.jpg
Many societies in the ancient world used stelae to record
and post news and edicts. This famous stela was used to
post the laws of ancient Mesopotamia. Give the common name
of these laws, also the name of this object.
D3. See: http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/gfrx/anci/d3.jpg
An astonishing discovery was made in 1901 on the sea floor
in Greece, where this incredibly complex device was found
(as well as a number of bronze statues). X-ray studies have
shown that this is the earliest known analog computer, with
37 internal bronze gears, and is capable of many different
astronomical functions. It is named after the place where
it was found. What is it named?
* E. "NBC Mystery Movie"
The "NBC Mystery Movie" was the overall name used for several TV series
with movie-length episodes that rotated in the same time slot from 1971
to 1977. Each of the constituent series had its own cast.
E1. In its inaugural year, the "NBC Mystery Movie" ran on Sunday
nights and consisted of three series: "Columbo", "MacMillan
and Wife", and what third series that was also named after
its lead character?
E2. The next two seasons on Sunday night saw a fourth
series in the rotation, featuring Richard Boone as a
gunfighter-turned-detective. Name it.
E3. In 1972 NBC added an extra night with the "NBC Wednesday
Night Mystery Movie". The first season of the Wednesday
rotation comprised three constituent series. Two of these,
respectively starring Richard Widmark and James Farentino,
lasted only one seaon. The third lasted two seasons.
Name *any one* of the three.
* F. The Setup
The following are the Setup/Deal portion of the rules for a card
game, each taken from a site containing common or standard rules for
that game. In each case, name the game.
F1. Partners should sit across from each other. Randomly choose
a dealer. Each player is dealt 5 cards. The remaining
4 cards are placed face down in the middle of the table.
The top card is turned face up; this card initially sets
the trump suit.
F2. Deal 12 cards to each player, starting from the left,
3 or 4 cards at a time. The next card is turned up and
placed on the table; it is the trump card and every card
of that suit is a trump. The remainder of the pack forms
the stock and is placed face down.
F3. Partners should sit across from each other. Randomly choose
a dealer. The dealer gives 11 cards face down to each
player, one at a time, clockwise, beginning with the opponent
on his left and ending with himself. The undealt remainder
of the pack is placed face down in the center of the table,
becoming the stock, and the top card is turned face up
beside it. If the upcard is a joker, deuce, or three, one
or more additional cards must be turned upon it until a
"natural" card (a four or higher) appears.
