QFTCIMI515 Game 5, Rounds 9-10: art styles, virtue challenge

[Mark Brader]

These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2015-02-09,
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 in a single followup to the newsgroup,
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 MI5, 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 2015-02-23
companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian Inquisition
(QFTCI*)".

* Game 5, Round 10 - Challenge Round - 6 out of 7 Virtues

A. History: Vows of Chastity

A1. Which order of monks with a vow of chastity was called the
Black Friars?

A2. These women of ancient Rome were committed to 30 years of
celibacy in the service of a goddess, starting when they
were 6-10 years old. When they retired, they were replaced
by new inductees, given a pension, and allowed to marry.
What were they called?

B. Canadiana: Temperance Movement

B1. The passage of the Canada Temperance Act (1864), also
called the Dunkin Act, allowed any county in the Canadas to
forbid the sale of liquor by majority vote. The legislation
did allow liquor to be obtained legally in two situations,
though. Name either.

B2. After the repeal of the Temperance Act, municipalities had
to vote to re-accept the sale of alcohol. When West Toronto
was amalgamated into Toronto, the district, today called
"the Junction", retained this right and was in fact kept
"dry", largely through the efforts of William "Temperance
Bill" Temple -- until what year, plus or minus 2 years?

C. Entertainment: Charity

C1. For 42 years, this glittering Toronto fundraising gala, the
brainchild of Anna Maria de Souza, raised money for health
care, research, education, and culture. It was last held
in 2012. Name this gala.

C2. Human rights organization Amnesty International has been
running benefit shows featuring British comedians and
musicians since 1976. What is the name used for this
annual event?

D. Sports: Diligence -- or Horse-Drawn Carriages

D1. In harness racing, what is the 2-wheeled vehicle pulled by
a single horse called?

D2. Associated with rodeos, this carriage race uses a team driven
four-in-hand, supported by two or four outriders who each race
individual thoroughbred horses that follow the main carriage.
What is it called?

E. Science: "Kind"ness -- or Taxonomy

E1. The Newfoundland coat of arms shows an elk, or Cervus
canadensis, because the British heralds had never actually
seen a specimen of Rangifer tarandus, the animal intended
for the coat of arms. Which extremely Canadian animal is
Rangifer tarandus?

E2. The aptly named Dr. David Bird has recently proposed that
Perisoreus canadensis be adopted as the national bird of
Canada. Give one of the many colloquial names by which it
is called in Canada.

F. Arts & Lit: Forgiveness -- or "The Merchant of Venice"

F1. In "The Merchant of Venice", from which moneylender does
Portia demand debt relief for a defaulting merchant-ship
owner?

F2. What does <answer F1> demand in repayment of Antonio's
defaulted debt?

Mark Brader, Toronto, m...@vex.net
Many computer users in the world at large seem to have been so
influenced by their experiences with other software suppliers that
they find it difficult to believe that a major software system
could be delivered in a highly reliable form, where a single
competent systems programmer might be able to provide all locally
needed system support, without further assistance from the supplier.
But the UNIX system proves it can be so. -- John Lions
