These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2016-11-14,
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 8, Round 4 - Canadiana Arts - Toronto Sculptures
Toronto is blessed with a number of interesting sculptural pieces
and installations in publicly accessible locations. We pass them
every day. Here are 10 questions about those works. Please see:
http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/8-4/TO/art.pdf
I've rearranged the round in order by picture. There are 5 decoys,
which are in sequence with the rest. For those I will give you
the location, and if you like, you can name either the artist or
the title for fun, but for no points.
1. Picture A (decoy), at Regis College, U of T.
2. Picture B (decoy), at Commerce Court.
3. Picture C. Name the *subject* of this piece, by Ruth Abernethy,
which is located outside 250 Front St. W.
4. Picture D (decoy), at the Shangri-La Hotel.
5. Picture E. "Muskox" by Hilary Clark Cole. Name the retail
clothing flagship *store* on Don Mills Rd. where you can find
this beauty made of weathered steel.
6. Picture F. In which *neighborhood* would you find the
appropriately named "Still Dancing" by Dennis Oppenheim?
7. Picture G. The Rogers Centre is the site of this 2-part work,
"The Audience". Name the multi-disciplinary *artist*, best
known for those geese in the Eaton Centre.
8. Picture H (decoy), at the TD Centre.
9. Picture I. Provide the *alternate name* of this work by Henry
Moore, "Three Way Piece Number Two".
10. Picture J (decoy), at 10 Yonge St.
11. Picture K. "Monument to the War of 1812". Name the
best-selling author and *designer* of this work, who is better
known for his red canoe sculpture at Canoe Landing Park.
12. Picture L. "Community" by Kirk Newman. Name the *company*
whose corporate headquarters host this piece.
13. Picture M. "Remembered Sustenance" by Cynthia Short. Name the
*city facility* which hosts this intriguing sculptural
installation.
14. Picture N. Name *either of the streets* at whose intersection
you can find Stephen Cruise's sculpture, "Uniform Stack /
Measure".
15. Picture O. In front of which *building* is the appropriately
named "Searchlight Spotlight Starlight" by John McEwen?
* Game 8, Round 6 - Science - Veterinary Science and Animal Health
1. For centuries in Britain, "farriers" were called upon for
their horse-doctoring skills and eventually developed the
first professional organization for the treatment of animals.
What do farriers do that would not be a vet's job today?
2. What do gibs, capons, lapins, and geldings have in common?
3. Onychectomy ["oh-nick-EK-to-mee"] is a procedure that's banned
in a number of countries. When it is performed, it's generally
performed on cats. What is is?
4. Fluoxetine is FDA-approved for veterinary use. This SSRI is
administered to treat separation anxiety and aggression in dogs.
What trademark name is fluoxetine better known by when taken
by humans?
5. According to a 2011 survey by the "Canadian Veterinary Journal",
sodium pentobarbital was the most common drug used by
veterinarians for what?
6. Humans can contract bartonellosis from their cats, resulting
in fever, enlarged painful lymph nodes, and local inflammation.
Its more common name describes the means of transmission --
and is also the name of a Ted Nugent song. Give that title.
7. This viral disease affects cloven-hoofed animals, causing
high fever, blisters, and lameness. An outbreak in 2001 in
Britain resulted in the slaughter of many animals nationwide,
postponement of a general election, and cancellation of a number
of sporting events. What disease?
8. Theobromine is a toxin easily metabolized by humans but
potentially fatal to dogs. In what favorite human treat would
you find theobromine?
9. Purebreds suffer higher rates of certain diseases than
mixed breeds. Large breeds such as Newfoundlands, Great Danes,
and St. Bernards are especially prone to a misalignment between
the femoral head and the acetabulum, leading to osteoarthritis.
What is this condition called?
10. Bordetella bronchiseptica is highly contagious among dogs.
What is it better known as?
