This is Rotating Quiz #211.
My thanks to the now-absent Chris Johnson for running RQ 210
and for writing a contest that has apparently allowed me to win.
The winner of RQ 211, in turn, will be the first choice to set
RQ 212, in whatever manner they prefer.
Please answer these questions based only on your own knowledge;
put all of your answers in a single posting, quoting the question
(or in this case, the given date or dates) before each one.
Answer slates must be posted by Wednesday, February 24 (by Toronto
time, zone -5), which gives you 6 days and about an hour from the
time of posting.
Now, please see:

Where the picture shows a person, you must name that person,
*except* if it is an actor or actress playing a *real person*,
in which case you must name *that* person. Where the picture
doesn't show a person, you must name the principal person whose
work or concepts are illustrated. I will supply each person's
dates of birth and, if applicable, death.
Naturally, if the answer would have appeared in the selected picture
then it has been blacked out or truncated away.
The surname is sufficient in each case, but:
In case of a tie, The first tiebreaker is how well you answer
question #15, but for questions #1-14 if you give a first name,
the second tiebreaker is the number of correct ones minus the number
of wrong ones. (First names should be in the form commonly used.)
If necessary, the third tiebreaker is who posted first.
1. 1963-.
2. 1764-1820.
3. 1860-1940.
4. 1860-1927.
5. 1910-90.
6. 1857-1936.
7. 1948-.
8. 1929-2012.

10. 1963-.
11. 1936-.
12. 1945-.
13. 1966-.
14. 1948-.

Dan Tilque wins! Hearty congratulations!

This also was not needed, obviously, and it was a good thing for Dan.
He didn't give *any* first names.
> 1. 1963-.
Norm Macdonald (actor). 1 for Pete.
> 2. 1764-1820.
Sir Alexander Mackenzie (explorer, first to reach the west coast
of the wide part of North America by land from the settled eastern
parts). 1 for Dan Tilque.
(I didn't require exact spelling, by the way, but the correct answers
on both #1 and #2 have "Mac-" followed by a small letter.)
> 3. 1860-1940.
Gen. John Thompson (gun inventor). 1 for Marc, Dan Blum, Joe,
and Dan Tilque.
> 4. 1860-1927.
Lizzie Borden (tried and acquitted of an infamous 1892 double murder).
1 for Marc, Dan Blum, Joe, Calvin, Pete, and Dan Tilque.
> 5. 1910-90.
Joan Bennett (actress).
> 6. 1857-1936.
Carl or Karl Pearson (mathematician). For the rest of the article
see: http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Chi-SquaredTest.html
> 7. 1948-.
Garry Trudeau (cartoonist). 1 for Marc, Dan Blum, Joe, Calvin,
Pete, and Dan Tilque.
> 8. 1929-2012.
Dick Clark (TV host). 1 for Marc and Pete.
> 9. 1938-.
Ted Turner (businessman and philanthropist). 1 for Marc, Dan Blum,
Peter, Calvin, Pete, and Dan Tilque.
> 10. 1963-.
Dermot Mulroney (actor). 1 for Dan Blum.
> 11. 1936-.
Glen Campbell (singer). 1 for Marc, Joe, Pete, and Dan Tilque.
> 12. 1945-.
Steve Martin (actor). 1 for everyone -- Marc, Dan Blum, Peter, Joe,
Calvin, Pete, and Dan Tilque.
> 13. 1966-.
Hill Harper (actor). 1 for Dan Blum and Dan Tilque.
> 14. 1948-.
Yes, Garry Trudeau again. You only get points for the answer once,
though.
> 15. What order are they in?
The repetition of Trudeau was, of course, a hint: each answer has the
same surname as a different prime minister of Canada (and for both #2
and #3, coincidentally also the same first name!). And the sequence
is simply according to when each corresponding prime minister first
took office.
There have, of course, been more than 15 prime ministers. But there
aren't a whole lot of other famous people with names like Bowell,
Meighen, and St-Laurent; and anyway 23 questions would have been
rather a lot. For the full list of prime ministers (including the
non-consecutive terms that 4 of them had), see:
http://www.rulers.org/rulc1.html#canpm
Marc, Dan Blum, Joe, Pete, and Dan Tilque got the idea, but nobody
stated it precisely. Dan Blum came closest, followed by Marc.
But the tiebreaker was not needed, as the scores, if there are no
errors, were:

Incidentally, I'm curious: was there anyone who spotted the theme
*before* they got to the hint at #14?
Congratulations again to Dan Tilque, and please set RQ 212 at your
earliest convenience.

though.
> 15. What order are they in?
same surname as a different prime minister of Canada (and for both #2
and #3, coincidentally also the same first name!). And the sequence
is simply according to when each corresponding prime minister first
took office.
There have, of course, been more than 15 prime ministers. But there
aren't a whole lot of other famous people with names like Bowell,
Meighen, and St-Laurent; and anyway 23 questions would have been
rather a lot. For the full list of prime ministers (including the
non-consecutive terms that 4 of them had), see:
http://www.rulers.org/rulc1.html#canpm
Marc, Dan Blum, Joe, Pete, and Dan Tilque got the idea, but nobody
stated it precisely. Dan Blum came closest, followed by Marc.
But the tiebreaker was not needed, as the scores, if there are no
errors, were:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 TOTALS
Dan Tilque 0 1 1 1 0 0 1 0 1 0 1 1 1 8
