These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2013-01-28,
and should be interpreted accordingly. All questions were written
by members of the Night Owls, 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 recent companion
posting on "Reposted Questions from the Canadian Inquisition
(RQFTCI*)".
* Game 1, Round 1 - Current Events (excerpt)
Answer these 2013 questions if you like for fun, but for no points.
1. What iconic vehicle from the '60s was sold for $4,300,000
in an auction in Arizona last week?
2. As a result of games played on January 20, the Baltimore Ravens
and the San Francisco 49ers earned berths in the Super Bowl
game on February 3; and, for the first time, the two opposing
head coaches are brothers. Their first names are John and Jim,
but what is their family name?
* Game 1, Round 2 - Science - Vitamins
This is a round about vitamins. Some answers may repeat. In each
case give the *letter of the vitamin*, except for the B vitamins,
where we need the *letter and number*.
1. Niacin is better known as what vitamin?
2. Retinol is better known as what vitamin?
3. Thiamine is better known as what vitamin?
4. Calciferol is better known as what vitamin?
5. Tocopherol is better known as what vitamin?
6. Riboflavin is better known as what vitamin?
7. Rickets is caused by a deficiency of what vitamin?
8. Beriberi is caused by a deficiency of what vitamin?
9. In 1913, what become the first vitamin to be isolated?
10. Besides the B vitamin complex, what other vitamin is
water-soluble?
* Game 1, Round 3 - Geography - Country Links
We'll name two countries, and you give us the name of the only
country which """touches""" both of them. (Land borders only.)
1. Syria, Egypt.
2. Gabon, Nigeria.
3. Laos, Malaysia.
4. Norway, Estonia.
5. Turkey, Pakistan.
6. Slovakia, Serbia.
7. Bolivia, Ecuador.
8. Namibia, Tanzania.
9. Guatemala, Nicaragua.
10. Switzerland, Hungary.
