These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2016-11-28,
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 2016-11-26 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".
This set of questions is running concurrently with the final
regular-season current-events set from the current season.
** Game 10, Round 9 - Entertainment - Place-Name Movies
Given the year and a somewhat cryptic description of a movie, you
name the movie. The movie name will have the name of a place as
part of its title. It may be a country, province, state, city,
town, etc. In each case give the full movie title.
1. 2002: Jennifer Lopez cleans up nicely.
2. 2011: Owen Wilson stays up late.
3. 2001: Geoffrey Rush fabricates lies out of whole cloth.
4. 1997: Brad Pitt takes his time learning to be selfless.
5. 1995: Nicolas Cage must go.
6: 1987: Robin Williams opens his eyes.
7. 1997: Guy Pearce uncovers a secret.
8. 2007: Russell Crowe misses his train.
9. 2004: Don Cheadle checks out.
10. 2002: Daniel Day-Lewis wears colors.
** Game 10, Round 10 - Challenge Round
* A. Pre-Confederation Governor-Generals
As you no doubt know, the name of Lord Seaton (who was GG 1837-38)
was John Colborne. Give the names of the following. The surname
will do.
A1. Lord Durham (GG 1838-39).
A2. Lord Elgin (GG 1847-54).
* B. Munich Beers
In each case, name the *brewery*.
B1. The basic logo is a red shield bearing the image of a spade
and the initials GS for Gabriel Seidlmayr, the developer
of lager beer as we know it.
B2. Founded by royalty, now owned by the state of Bavaria,
this beer bears a crown and a ligature of the initials HB
on its label.
* C. Michael Fassbender
Not yet 40, this Irish-German actor already has a number of
prominent roles, awards, and award nominations to his credit.
C1. What person from history did Fassbender play in the movie
"A Dangerous Method" (2011)?
C2. Fassbender has appeared in three films directed by Steve
McQueen. In the third, his portrayal of Edwin Epps won
Fassbender an Oscar nomination. Name the movie.
* D. Electric Cars
D1. The best-selling all-electric car is made by Nissan.
What is the model name?
D2. The 2006 documentary "Who Killed the Electric Car"? was
about a vehicle called the EV1. Which company manufactured
and leased the EV1 between 1996 and 1999?
* E. Greek Cuisine
E1. Suppose you want a hunk of fried cheese flambéed at your
table; what word would you look for in the menu of a Toronto
Greek restaurant?
E2. If fasolakia is ordered in a Greek restaurant, what vegetable
would you expect to appear?
* F. Leonard Cohen Lyrics
No Nobel Prize, but not too shabby a poet. We'll quote a few lines
from a Cohen song; you give the song title. No singing, humming,
or whistling, please!
F1. I did my best, it wasn't much.
I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch.
I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you.
F2. And I swear it happened just like this:
a sigh, a cry, a hungry kiss,
the Gates of Love they budged an inch.
I can't say much has happened since.
After completing the round, please decode the rot13: vs lbh fnvq
