These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2015-11-23,
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 Bloor St. Irregulars,
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 9, Round 4 - Canadiana - Canadian Museums & Art Galleries
1. It's not something you can order at Starbucks; it's a modern-art
museum founded in 1999, and located until recently near
Queen West and Shaw. Until its new permanent location opens
in 2017, its collection is being displayed at pop-up locations.
Name the museum.
2. Important works in this collection include Barnet Newman's
"Voice of Fire" and Benjamin West's "Death of General Wolfe".
In 1988 it moved from an office building on Elgin St. into a
purpose-built building on Sussex Dr.
3. The architect responsible for the new National Gallery of
Canada is this Canadian/Israeli architect. His first major
work was an iconic residential project built as part of Expo 67.
Name the architect.
4. Another work by <answer 3> is the Desmarais Pavilion of this
museum on Sherbrooke St. The museum was founded in 1860, and
in 1972 it was the scene of the largest art theft in Canadian
history. Name this museum.
5. Designed by Raymond Moriyama, this Sudbury museum is built in
the form of two snowflakes. It's the Northern Ontario
counterpart to the Ontario Science Centre. Name the museum.
6. Completed in 2007, this controversial addition to the Royal
Ontario Museum extends out over Bloor St. What is the full
name of this Daniel Liebeskind addition to the ROM?
7. Founded in 1886, this Victoria museum is known for its extensive
anthropology collection devoted to Pacific Coast cultures.
Name this museum, BC's answer to the ROM.
8. Architected by Fumihiko Maki and opened in 2014, this museum is
located at Wynford Drive and the DVP. Its extensive collection
is dedicated to Islamic culture, and the museum features a
restaurant under the direction of Mark McEwan. Name the museum.
9. Also opened in 2014 was this museum, the brainchild of Winnipeg
businessman Izzy Asper. Antoine Predock's design has visitors
enter through the museum's roots, ascending through ramps and
galleries, before reaching the Tower of Hope. Name the museum.
10. This museum takes its name from the hero of one of our Heritage
Minute questions earlier in the season. Its vast paleontology
collection is pretty much the only reason to visit Drumheller.
Name the museum.
* Game 9, Round 5 - Audio - The Next Lyric
Yes, again! In this game we have yet another audio round that
is playable without the audio.
(Note: even disregarding the non-audio, this round may differ
somewhat from its original form; I have copied the lyrics from
sites such as azlyrics.com, not transcribed them from the audio
clips, and I've made the choices myself as to where to start the
song before the critical point.)
These are songs which, although *not* connected to movies that
won the Oscar for Best Picture, just happen to have the titles
of those movies in the lyrics. In each case, give the indicated
number of words following the lyric, which will form the *title
of a Best Picture Oscar winner*. (They *may or may not* also be
the title of the song.)
1. This is a track from Bryan Adams:
I was caught in the crossfire of a silent scream
Where one man's nightmare is another man's dream
Pull the covers up high and pray for the mornin' light
Cause you're livin' alone
[next 6 words -- remember, they are a movie title but maybe
not the song title]
2. From the Beatles:
Her name was Magil and she called herself Lil
But everyone knew her as Nancy
Now she and her man who called himself Dan
Were in the next room at the hoe down
[next word]
3. From Metallica:
What I've felt
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown
Never free
Never me
[next word]
4. From the Dave Matthews Band:
Touch your lips just so I know
In your eyes, love, it glows so
I'm bare boned and crazy for you
When you come
[next word]
5. From the London Philharmonic Choir:
Bring me my bow of burning gold!
Bring me my arrows of desire!
Bring me my spear! O clouds, unfold!
Bring me my
[next 3 words]
6. From Bette Midler:
Did you ever know that you're my hero
And everything I would like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle
'Cause you are the wind beneath my
[next word]
7. From Frank Sinatra:
Now this could only happen to a guy like me
And only happen in a town like this
So may I say to each of you most gratef'lly
As I throw each one of you a kiss
This is my kind of town
[next word]
8. From Falco:
Er war Superstar
Er war populär
Er war so exaltiert
Because er hatte Flair
Er war ein Virtuose
War ein Rockidol
Und alles rief:
Come and rock me
[next word]
9. From Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young:
Wouldn't you know we're riding on the Marrakesh Express
They're taking me to Marrakesh
All aboard the train, all aboard the train
I've been saving all my money just to take you there
I smell the garden in your hair
Take the train from
[next word]
10. From John Legend:
And we both still got room left to grow
And though love sometimes hurts
I still put you first
And we'll make this thing work
But I think we should take it slow
We're just
[next 2 words]
* Game 9, Round 6 - Miscellaneous - Magic: The Gathering
No, you don't have to be a "Magic: The Gathering" player for
this round. Throughout its 22-year history, the game has taken
its inspiration from a variety of different sources. Using the
images provided on the handout,
http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/9-6/magic.pdf
you'll have to identify some of them.
(I have rearranged the round in order by picture number. Note that
some numbers refer to more than one card.)
1. The artwork on the card "Orcish Settlers" is a parody of *which
1930 regionalist painting*? Unlike in the image, the original
painting depicts a house that *isn't* on fire.
2. The names of these three cards from the "Dark Ascension"
expansion pay homage to three of the four main characters from
*which children's story*? The fact that they all transform
into werewolves may help indicate the fourth main character of
the story.
3. This card depicts a herd of *which mythical animal* from North
American folklore? The name of this animal refers to its status
as a hybrid that possesses the horns of an African ungulate
and the body of a lagomorph.
4. The card "Curse Of The Swine" is a reference to a mythological
event where the witch Circe turns *which character's* men
into pigs? This character's 10-year journey home to Ithaca
from the Trojan War is the subject of a Greek epic.
5. We've obfuscated the face on the card "Presence Of The Master",
but it depicts *which man*, the first real-life person to appear
on a card? He won a Nobel Prize in 1921 for his discovery of
the photoelectric effect.
6. This shows a "Magic"al depiction of a kami, a deity worshipped
in *which religion*?
7. This depicts a card that lets you weave games within games,
just like *which queen* for whom it is named? This person
wove stories within stories for her husband King Shahryar,
and delayed her execution for 1,001 nights.
8. This card, "Borrowing 100,000 Arrows", depicts an event in
"Romance of the Three Kingdoms", one of *which country's*
four classical novels?
9. This shows three cards that depict sites in the real world.
Name the present-day country where *any one* of them is located.
10. This shows a humorous take on "Magic: The Gathering cards".
Name *all three words* that have been censored in the names of
these cards.
11. And image #11, you ask? Why, he's just along for the ride!
Identify the card if you like for fun, but for no points.

The lyric should definitely be singular "chariot," but I think the
movie title uses "chariots." Close enough, I guess.

The original form of this round was the hardest in the original game,
but it was a rather easy game overall.

Apologies; in reconstructing the round as non-audio, I somehow
accidentally omitted a line. As Stephen noted, after "Never me"

According to most sources, the correct lyric (in "Jerusalem")
is "chariot of fire", but the movie was "Chariots of Fire".
I'm accepting either. 4 for Stephen, Erland, Pete, and Joshua.
This error was made by the original author, but I should still
have noticed it when I searched for the lyrics to construct the
non-audio round. Apologies again.

Must've been some sort of glitch. I see them now. I guess the easiest
way to report this is to repeat the results posting, with the applicable
corrections. So:

The original form of this round was the hardest in the rather easy
original game.

Chariots of fire. ("Jerusalem".) Various entrants and most Internet
sources indicate that the correct lyric is "chariot of fire",
but the other phrase was the movie title, so I'm accepting either.

This error was made by the original author, but I should still

Must've been some sort of glitch. I see them now. I guess the easiest
way to report this is to repeat the results posting, with the applicable
corrections. So:

sources indicate that the correct lyric is "chariot of fire",
but the other phrase was the movie title, so I'm accepting either.
4 for Dan Blum, Stephen, Peter, Erland, Pete, and Joshua.
This error was made by the original author, but I should still
have noticed it when I searched for the lyrics to construct the
non-audio round. Apologies again.
