These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2007-03-12,
and should be interpreted accordingly. All questions were written
by members of the Usual Suspects, but have been reformatted and
may have been retyped and/or edited by me. I will reveal the
correct answers in about 3 days.
For further information, including an explanation of the """
notation that may appear in these rounds, see my 2020-06-23
companion posting on "Reposted Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (RQFTCI*)".
I wrote one of these two rounds.
* Game 8, Round 2 - History - Israel
1. Zionist movements of one kind or another had existed for
centuries, perhaps even going back to the destruction of the
Temple of Jerusalem in the year 70, but the founder of modern
political Zionism is generally considered to be a Viennese
journalist who published a pamphlet called "The Jewish State"
in 1896. Who was he?
2. A 1917 declaration by the British Foreign Secretary, though
ambiguously worded, was taken by Zionists as indicating British
support for their cause. What was this statement called?
3. The British Mandate of Palestine, in which Britain administered
an area corresponding to what are """now""" Israel, Jordan,
and the Palestinian territories, was set up in 1922 under the
auspices of what world body?
4. On account of hostilities between Jews and Arabs in the 1920s
and 1930s, several underground military forces were founded.
One was created around 1920 to protect Jewish settlements;
another split from it in 1931, and that group itself suffered
a split, forming a third militia. Name any of these groups,
all of which were eventually incorporated into the Israel
Defense Forces.
5. Israel declared independence in 1948. Name its first president
or first prime minister -- you don't have to say which one
you mean.
6. The Nazi war criminal Adolf Eichmann was kidnapped by Israeli
agents in 1961 and later executed. In what country did they
find him?
7. Which world leader addressed the Israeli parliament on
1977-11-19?
8. At which airport did Israel launch a raid in July 1976 to rescue
the passengers of a hijacked airliner?
9. In what year did the Six-Day War take place?
10. Where did Anwar Sadat and Israeli prime minister Menachem
Begin negotiate an accord providing a framework for peace
between the two countries? It was signed on 1978-09-17.
* Game 8, Round 3 - Literature/Entertainment - Sequels
This is a literature *and* an entertainment round. Publishers love
sequels and so do movie studios, and they like it even better when
an original and a followup novel can be made into an original and
a followup movie. And that is what this round is about.
In all cases that we'll ask you about, the author was the same
for both books, and in most cases the title of each book was used
identically for the movie version; when that's not true, we'll
tell you. Full titles are required.
1. Tom Clancy's second Jack Ryan novel, which begins with Ryan
foiling an IRA attack in London, was a prequel to "The Hunt for
Red October". It became a sequel in the 1992 movie adaptation,
as Harrison Ford replaced the younger Alec Baldwin. Name it.
2. What was the first sequel to "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's
Stone"?
3. Marcel Pagnol adapted his own 1953 movie into a novel published
in two parts with the overall title "L'eau des collines"
("The Water of the Hills"). The two parts were then adapted
back into film as separate movies, filmed as a single project
and released in 1986. The first book and movie is "Jean de
Florette"; name the second, in French or English. In English
the title was changed slightly for the movie.
4. "The Evening Star" was the sequel to what Larry McMurtry book?
The movie versions of both books starred Shirley MacLaine and
Jack Nicholson.
5. What original was "Be Cool" the sequel to? Both novels were
by Elmore Leonard; both movies starred John Travolta.
6. Walter Tevis wrote "The Hustler", and in 1961 Paul Newman
starred in the movie. The sequel was filmed in 1986 with
Newman and Tom Cruise; name it.
7. D.H. Lawrence's 1915 novel "The Rainbow" was followed by a
sequel in 1920. The two books were filmed by director Ken
Russell, 20 years apart, and in reverse order so that the movie
"The Rainbow" became a prequel. The movies appeared in 1969
and 1989, with Glenda Jackson first playing one of the Brangwen
sisters and then their mother. What was the title of the second
novel and the first movie?
8. Anne Rice wrote "Interview with the Vampire", which was filmed
in 1994 with the subtitle "The Vampire Chronicles". The second
novel in the series was skipped, but the third one was filmed in
2002, with considerable changes. By the time it was released,
the young singer who played Queen Akasha had died in a plane
crash. The movie shortened the novel's title slightly by
dropping the first word, "The". Name that sequel.
9. "The Road Back" was a loose sequel, filmed in 1937, to what
novel of World War I, filmed in 1930? The books were written
in German, but we want the English title.
10. When Anita Loos's novel "But Gentlemen Marry Brunettes";
was filmed, again, the the first word of the title was dropped.
But this was a sequel. What identical title did Loos's original
novel and movie have?
