These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2020-01-13,
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 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 2019-10-16
companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian Inquisition
(QFTCI*)".
* Game 1, Round 4 - Geography: Three the North
Each list is in alphabetical order. Just name the city that's the
farthest north of the three.
1. Karachi, Pakistan; Quito, Ecuador; Timbuktu, Mali.
2. Chicago, US; Kabul, Afghanistan; Paris, France.
3. Djibouti; Lima, Peru; Singapore.
4. Cape Town, South Africa; Rio de Janeiro, Argentina; Sydney, Australia.

10. Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam; Mexico City, Mexico; Nairobi, Kenya.
* Game 1, Round 5 - The Un-Audio Round - Songs by Scenes
MI5 were unable to present an audio round in this game due to the
sudden death of the computer they were preparing it on, so they
produced this version instead. Please see the handout at:
http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/1-5/song.pdf
where each image shows a scene from a movie, and you must simply
*name the song* that is being played or sung during the scene.
(There were no decoys, and I've sorted the round in order of
the pictures.)
1. Scene A.
2. Scene B.
3. Scene C.
4. Scene D.
5. Scene E.
6. Scene F.
7. Scene G.
8. Scene H.
9. Scene I.
10. Scene J.
* Game 1, Round 6 - History - 1920
Here's a round on things that happened 100 years ago. All dates
refer to the year 1920.
1. This intergovernmental organization was founded on January 10
as a result of the Paris Peace Conference that ended World War I.
Its principal mission was to maintain world peace. Name the
organization.
2. On July 7 this Conservative became Canada's 9th prime minister.
Who?
3. What Republican was elected US President on November 2? He is
often rated as one of the worst presidents in history.
4. After an 8-year hiatus, the Olympic Games were held in Antwerp
and featured the debut of this middle- and long-distance runner
who went on to win one silver and three gold medals that year.
Altogether he had a 14-year career, during which he set 22
official world records and won 12 Olympic medals. Who was he?
5. On November 16 the New York Yankees announced that they had paid
$125,000 to obtain the heavy hitter "Babe" Ruth -- from which
team? (Team name required, like "Maple Leafs".)
6. These two men, who both adhered to an anarchist movement, were
convicted of murdering a guard and a paymaster during the
April 15 armed robbery of the Slater and Morrill Shoe Co. in
Braintree, Mass. Name either one.
7. On Feb. 17, a woman named Anna Anderson tried to commit suicide
in Berlin. She was taken to a mental hospital, where she made
a surprising claim. Who did she claim to be?
8. On May 16, this woman was formally canonized as a saint of the
Roman Catholic Church by Pope Benedict XV. Who was she?
9. This Italian painter and sculptor, who worked mainly in
France, died on January 24. He is known for portraits and nudes
in a modern style characterized by elongation of faces, necks,
and figures. This was not well received during his lifetime,
but found acceptance later. Name him.
10. Under the terms of the 18th Amendment (ratified the previous
year), what took effect In the US on January 17?

Brazil and is certainly noth of the other two, but where is the Rio de
Janeiro in Argentina? I don't know, and having travelled in Argentina quite
a bit, I knew quite a few place names there.
But I take my chances and go with Rio de Janeiro, Argentina anyway.

I will not extend the time period for entering, though.

Oh sheesh. Obviously I meant Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Sorry about
that, everyone. If you were actually misled, feel free to post
another answer as a followup to this correction, whether you have
