These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2016-06-20,
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 Usual Suspects 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 2016-05-31 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".
I wrote one of these rounds.
* Game 5, Round 7 - Literature - Supporting Characters
For each question we will name four characters who have supporting
roles in one or more works by the same author. They may all
be in the same work, or the same series, or in unrelated works.
In any case, what you have to do is name the author.
1. Bustopher Jones, Macavity, Mungojerrie, Skimbleshanks.
2. Mundungus Fletcher, Rubeus Hagrid, Luna Lovegood, Draco Malfoy.
3. Sir Andrew Aguecheek, Dromio of Ephesus, Goneril, Edward Poins.
4. Superintendent Battle, Arthur Hastings, Ariadne Oliver,
Dr. James Sheppard.
5. Jack Dawkins, Thomas Gradgrind, Abel Magwitch, Wilkins Micawber.
6. Peter Coffin, Father Mapple, Queequeg, Starbuck.
7. Barliman Butterbur, Rosie Cotton, Bill Ferny, Goldberry.
8. Donald Gennaro, Ian Malcolm, Dennis Nedry, Ellie Sattler.
9. Iva Archer, Joel Cairo, Effie Perrine, Floyd Thursby.
10. Major Major, Milo Minderbinder, General Peckem, General
Scheisskopf.
* Game 5, Round 8 - Geography - African Capitals
This will be a simple round, and we hope it's easy as well. We'll name
the capital city of an African country, and you tell us which country.
1. Kampala ["kam-PAW-luh"].
2. Accra ["uh-KRAH"].
3. Lusaka ["loo-SAHK-uh"].
4. Kigali ["kih-GAW-lee"].
5. Dakar ["da-KAHR"].
6. Mogadishu ["mo-guh-DEE-shoo"].
7. Abuja ["uh-BOO-juh"].
8. Windhoek ["VINT-huhk"].
9. Luanda ["loo-AND-uh"].
10. Khartoum ["kar-TOOM"].
