These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2003-02-17,
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 rounds.
* Game 5, Round 2 - Entertainment - The Films of Humphrey Bogart
We'll describe 10 Humphrey Bogart movies, in chronological order.
In each case, you must name the title.
1. In this 1936 movie Humphrey Bogart plays Duke Mantee, a gangster
who takes hostage the occupants of an Arizona restaurant, one
of them played by Leslie Howard. They had acted the same roles
on stage and Howard insisted that Bogie be cast in the film
version. It made him a star, but also led to him being typecast
in a series of criminal roles that continued until "High Sierra"
5 years later.
2. "The Maltese Falcon" and "Casablanca" would be the next two
usual suspects, but we'll pass right over them and on to 1944,
for the first of Bogie's five movies with Lauren Bacall.
This is the one where she says to him, "You know how to whistle,
don't you? Just put your lips together and... blow."
3. In this 1947 movie with Lauren Bacall, the star spends the
first half-hour with his head in bandages as he recovers from
plastic surgery. Only then do we see the face of Humphrey
Bogart.
4. Walter Huston and Tim Holt join Humphrey Bogart in Mexico, where
the lure of gold tears friendships apart. John Huston directed.
5. Bogart also made five movies with Edward G. Robinson.
The last of these is set in Florida, where the characters
weather a hurricane.
6. Humphrey Bogart. Katharine Hepburn. Enough said.
7. In this 1952 movie, Bogie plays a newspaper editor who sets out
to expose a mob leader... while his paper is in danger of being
taken over and shut down.
8. The cast of this quirky and lighthearted 1953 movie includes
Robert Morley, Peter Lorre, Jennifer Jones, and Gina Lollobrigida
as well as Humphrey Bogart, all conniving for the rights to an
African mine as their ship is detained for repairs at a small
Italian port.
9. Bogart played one more criminal role in 1955 in this movie about
what today we would call a "home invasion". Fredric March plays
the man of the house.
10. Bogart's last movie was made in 1956. He plays boxing writer
Eddie Willis, who takes a job as a press agent and comes to
realize that he really doesn't care for the boxing business.
* Game 5, Round 3 - History - Holidays and Observances
Unless otherwise specified, give the name of the occasion.
1. This day was first observed on 1910-06-19 in Spokane, Washington.
It was created to honor William Smart, a widower who raised
five children.
2. Name the successor to Wiarton Willie, who """is""" supposed to
predict the weather on Groundhog Day in Wiarton, Ontario.
3. Dr. Maulana Karenga, an African studies professor, created this
cultural holiday in 1966.
4. Which holiday commemorates the Mexican victory at Puebla in
1862 over the invading French army?
5. What name is given to the first day of Lent?
6. What is the traditional Ukrainian name for an Easter egg?
7. This holiday is a 5-day Hindu festival that occurs in October
or November in the Western calendar. The celebration is often
referred to as the Festival of Lights.
8. Name this other Festival of Lights; it is a celebration of the
victory of the Maccabees and the rededication of the Jerusalem
Temple.
9. Purim is a Jewish holiday recounted in a book telling the story
of which Biblical queen?
10. The Netherlands """celebrates""" Queens Day on April 30.
Two queens are honored on this day; name either the one
whose birthday is celebrated, or the one whose coronation
is commemorated. *Note*: For this question you must give the
original correct answer.

The Swedish name translats to "Ash Wednesday", but that may not be the
English name.

Chance has it that the Swedish king also has it birthday on this date.
However, the day is not really thought of as King's Day, but rather his
birthday is overshadowed by the Valborg festivities which includes
lightning bonfires to celebrate the advent of spring.
