These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2015-06-29,
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 Five Guys Named Moe, 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 2015-08-18 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".
* Game 10, Round 2 - Science - Color
1. What are the three primary colors that make up light? Pixels of
these colors are used in most electronic displays such as LCDs.
2. <Answers 1> are the primary colors of an additive system.
In contrast, the print industry relies on a subtractive system,
often referred to by the abbreviations of four colors. Give that
abbreviation or just name the four colors.
3. The art world uses pigments or molecules to generate colors,
instead of light. What are the three primary colors in art?
4. What are the color receptors in the human eye called?
5. In an effort to disprove René Descartes' wave theory of light
in 1672, this scientist ran numerous experiments and concluded
that light is composed of colored particles, which combine
to appear white. He also introduced the term "spectrum" and
divided the spectrum into seven colors. Name the scientist.
6. <Answer 5>'s "spectrum" experiment famously used a prism to split
white light into its colors. This took advantage of the
different behavior of different colors of light during what
phenomenon?
7. Some people perceive letters and numbers as colored, whereas
some others see colors when they hear music or sounds. What is
this neurological phenomenon called?
8. In 1957, scientists combined the trichromatic theory from
1801 with the opponent-color theory of 1892. This led to the
scientific understanding of a disorder first reported by John
Dalton in 1793-94. What is the everyday name of this genetic
disorder?
9. Metamerism is the phenomenon when a color appears different
in different contexts or settings. A real-life illustration
occurred a few months ago when social media exploded in
debate over the color of a woman's dress. Either name *both*
actual colors of the dress *or both* alternative colors that
people observed. (And no, you don't have to say which were
the actual colors.)
10. Coal -- or any other substance -- glows red when heated
("red-hot"), and upon further heating, it will turn "white-hot".
What color will it turn if it is heated beyond white-hot?
* Game 10, Round 3 - Canadiana Arts - Canadian Paintings
Please see the 3-page handout at:
http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/10-3/artist.pdf
In each case we'll name an artist and you identify which picture
they painted.
1. Jean-Paul Riopelle.
2. Alex Colville.
3. "Runt", or Alex Currie.
4. Emily Carr.
5. Ken Danby.
6. Paul Kane.
7. Michael Snow.
8. Christopher Pratt.
9. Jack Bush.
10. Charles Pachter.
So there were 8 decoys. Here in rot13 are 7 more artists whose
works you may identify if you wish for fun, but for no points:
11. Gbal Bayrl.
12. Ehol Munat.
13. Lbex Jvyfba.
14. Orawnzva Purr Purr.
15. Vina Jurnyr.
16. Evgn Yrgraqer.
17. Tert Pheabr.
And then there's one more picture. If you're still having fun,
then after you have finished with questions #1-17, decode the
rot13 and answer:

Mark Brader:
Joshua, Marc, Dan Tilque, Björn, Gareth, and Pete.
As Erland noted, the reference to "making up light" was badly written;
primary colors are a phenomenon of the human visual system (see
questions #4 and #8) and are in no way inherent in light itself.
But the intent was still clear due to the reference to electronic
displays.
> 2. <Answers 1> are the primary colors of an additive system.

Joshua, Marc, Dan Tilque, Björn, Gareth, and Pete.
As Erland noted, the reference to "making up light" was badly written;
primary colors are a phenomenon of the human visual system (see
questions #4 and #8) and are in no way inherent in light itself.
But the intent was still clear due to the reference to electronic
displays.
