These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2016-11-21,
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 the Misplaced Modifiers
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 2016-11-26 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".
** Game 9, Round 2 - Literature - The "Big 3" of Science Fiction
Unless specified otherwise, name the work -- and the *full title*
will be required.
* The first 3 questions are about Arthur C. Clarke novels.
1. A peaceful invasion of Earth by the mysterious Overlords results
in a massive leap in human evolution. Name the 1953 book.
2. Name the 1968 novel, developed concurrently with the film,
involving the discovery of an alien monolith on the Moon.
3. A 1973 novel describing the imminent arrival in near-Earth space
of a large asteroid, named for a Hindu god -- which turns out
to actually be an alien spaceship.
* Now, Isaac Asimov.
4. In 1941 Asimov wrote what is described as the "most famous
science-fiction story of all time", about a world that has
only known day and which is dreading the coming of darkness.
Name the novella.
5. Asimov's most famous series, comprising 7 books, features the
fictional science of psychohistory, developed by Hari Seldon and
used to help create a galaxy-spanning empire. Name the series.
6. Give the title of the 1950 book of short stories featuring
artificial humans with positronic brains. An unfortunate Will
Smith film sharing the same title was released in 2004.
* Finally, Robert Heinlein.
7. Name the 1961 book about a human named Valentine Michael Smith,
raised by Martians, who returns to Earth.
8. This Heinlein book was turned into a Paul Verhoeven film in
1997 about space marines fighting insectoid aliens.
9. Another film adaptation from 1994, starring Donald Sutherland and
about parasitic alien slugs taking over human brains, was adapted
from the 1951 Heinlein novel of the same title.
10. Heinlein coined a few words which have passed into common
English usage. In <answer 7> he describes a Martian word which
means to understand something so fully as to become one with it.
What is the word?
** Game 9, Round 3 - Entertainment - Actors Young and Old
Whether due to time travel, flashbacks, or simply to stories that
span many years, the same character sometimes appears in the same
movie at greatly different ages, and then may be played by two or
more different actors or actresses. Here are 10 questions about
movies where this was done.
1. In the third movie in this series, Josh Brolin plays the
character at a young age; Tommy Lee Jones plays the character
at an older age. Name the series.
2. In this 1986 hit, Wil Wheaton plays the character at a young
age; Richard Dreyfuss, as a grown man. Name the movie.
3. In this 2003 Tim Burton fantasy, Ewan McGregor plays the
character as a young man. Albert Finney plays him on his
deathbed. Name the movie.
4. Through time travel, Joseph Gordon-Levitt's character meets
his future self, and it is Bruce Willis. Name the movie.
5. In the third movie in this series, Rob Lowe plays a young
man, and Robert Wagner plays the same character 30 years older.
Name the series.
6. For her role in this movie, Gloria Stuart became the oldest
person ever to receive an Oscar nomination for acting. Kate
Winslet played her character at a younger age. Name the movie.
7. Leonard Nimoy as Spock comes face to face with his younger self
in "Star Trek" (2009). Who plays the younger version?
8. In "The Debt" (2010), Jessica Chastain plays a Mossad agent
chasing a Nazi war criminal in 1965. Who plays the same
character 30 years older?
9. Gena Rowlands plays the character at an advanced age in the
2004 romance "The Notebook". What Canadian actress plays the
same character in flashback?
10. Harrison Ford plays the lead in "Indiana Jones and the Last
Crusade". But what late actor plays Indy at a younger age in
the same movie?

"2001: A Space Odyssey". 4 for Don, Bruce, Joshua, Dan Blum, Marc,
Stephen, Calvin, Dan Tilque, and Pete. 3 for Erland.
According to Clarke, the book and movie were supposed to be released
simultaneously and at one time director Stanley Kubrick was going
to be credited as a coauthor of the book. Allegedly Kubrick was
responsible for the novel not appearing until later.

"Foundation". 4 for Don, Peter, Dan Blum, Erland, Marc, Stephen,
Calvin, and Dan Tilque.
The series originally consisted of 8 stories of different lengths,
which were, as they say, "fixed up" into 3 so-called novels for
book publication and therefore called a "trilogy". Much later
Asimov returned to it with additional novels, and after his death,
still more novels in the series were written by Gregory Benford,
Greg Bear, and David Brin -- though, sadly, in that order and not
in alphabetical order by their own names.
> 6. Give the title of the 1950 book of short stories featuring

"I, Robot". 4 for Don, Joshua, Peter, Dan Blum, Erland, Marc,
Stephen, Dan Tilque, and Pete. 2 for Calvin.
The same title had been used as recently as 1939 for a short story by
Eando Binder, and Asimov was unhappy about his publisher's decision
to reuse it for his book. But the title became so well-known in
connection with Asimov that when the later filmmakers decided to
add elements from Asimov's stories into what was originally going
to be an unrelated movie, they also took "his" title.

As explained in the novel, this is a metaphorical usage and the
