These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2015-03-16,
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 15 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 9, Round 8 - History - "Time Team" Terms
In other words, archeology. If you're an insomniac, you'll know
that you can watch "Time Team" at all hours of the day and night.
This round invokes terms that the "Time Team" use as they dig up
the British Isles.
1. What is the name given to the Roman type of central heating in
which hot air circulates under floors?
2. What is the name given to the small squares of glass, tile,
and stone which composed Roman mosaic floors?
3. What is the name given to the accumulation of debris and domestic
waste products resulting from human use?
4. What is the name given to the uniquely British Neolithic or early
Bronze Age circular enclosures, up to 400 m (1,300 ft.) across,
with banks and usually an internal ditch?
5. In the Bronze and Iron Ages, circular burial monuments with a
central area defined by a ditch and an external bank are common.
What name is given to these enclosed burial areas?
6. What is a fosse ("foss")?
7. What is the term for the private latrine off the lord's apartment
in a castle or keep?
8. What is the name given to the "Great Survey" of England and parts
of Wales, ordered by William the Conqueror and completed in 1086?
9. After 1066, the Normans built fortifications across England
and Wales consisting of an artificial raised earthwork mound,
capped by a military defensive structure. What is the name
given to the mound itself?
10. Where was the curtain wall, as opposed to a bailey wall,
of a Norman castle located?

These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2015-03-16,
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.

companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian Inquisition
(QFTCI*)".
As you see, the handout
http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/9-9/beer.png
simply asks for "one more beer please" in a variety of languages.
Note that for languages that don't use a Latin-based alphabet,
the phrases *have been transliterated*, rather than using their
native script, which you might too easily recognize.
In each case simply name the language.
Note: I don't know the source of these translations (except it's
not Google Translate, as that produces different results for many
of them), and wouldn't be surprised if there are errors in some
of them. I noticed a couple of things not quite right myself
and took it on myself to improve them, and while I was at it, for
convenience in this medium I also took the opportunity to resequence
the entries so as to put the 10 languages that were actually used
in the round first. So the 13 decoys are now #11 through #23.
1. What language?
2. What language?
3. What language?
4. What language?
5. What language?
6. What language?
7. What language?
8. What language?
9. What language?
10. What language?
Continue with the decoys if you like for fun, but for no points.
11. What language?

* Game 9, Round 10 - Challenge Round - St. Patrick's Day
A. Sunday Bloody Sunday
A1. As you know, "Bloody Sunday" refers to the 1972 shooting by
British soldiers of 26 unarmed civilians in Northern Ireland
during a protest march against internment. But another
name for the incident references the area of Derry where
it happened. Name that place.
A2. After an earlier tribunal largely cleared British soldiers
and authorities of any wrongdoing on Bloody Sunday, Tony
Blair ordered a second inquiry in 1998. It only took until
2010 for the resulting Saville Report to be published,
whereupon the British Prime Minister made a formal apology
on behalf of the UK. Who was this apologetic PM?
B. Whiskey in the Jar
B1. The name "whiskey" is derived from the Irish phrase "usice
beatha", pronounced "ush-ka-ba-ha". What is the literal
translation of "usice beatha" into English?
B2. What did Dublin distillers introduce in the late 1800s as
a way to differentiate "Pure Pot-still Irish whiskey"
from the blended Scotch that they considered inferior?
They are still using it today.
C. The Priest with the Collar
C1. Irish actor Barry Fitzgerald won an Oscar for his portrayal
of Father Fitzgibbon, a cranky, set-in-his-ways parish priest
who is reunited with his nonagenarian Irish mother... in
what Oscar-winning 1944 movie?
C2. Which sitcom follows the misadventures of three Roman
Catholic priests in a parish on Craggy Island, located off
the west coast of Ireland?
D. The Minstrel Boys
D1. Name the Irish singer who was the lead vocalist and bassist
for Thin Lizzy.
D2. Name the Irish singer who was the lead vocalist for The
Boomtown Rats.
E. The Emerald Isle
E1. There are four traditional provinces on the island of
Ireland: Connacht, Leinster, Munster, and what?
E2. Name the university that was founded by England's Queen
Elizabeth I in 1592. The Book of Kells is on permanent
display in its library.
F. The Wearing of the Green... Jacket
F1. The green jacket is only allowed to be removed from Augusta
National Golf Course by the reigning champion of the
Masters tournament. So whose closet is it in today?
F2. Only one Argentinian has ever won the green jacket, and
he almost had it a second time in 2013, losing in a playoff
to Adam Scott. Who is he?
