These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2013-11-04,
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 in a single followup to the newsgroup,
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 Clueless, 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
2013-09-15 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".
* Game 7, Round 9 - Entertainment - World Cinema
1. What director's films include "Battleship Potemkin", "October",

Totoro", "Princess Mononoke", and "Spirited Away"?
4. What Japanese actor (1920-97) starred in "Rashomon", "Seven
Samurai", "Throne of Blood", "Yojimbo", and over 160 other
movies?
5. Name the "playback" singer who has lent her voice over a
6-decade career in Bollywood to hundreds of films that onscreen
actresses would lip-sync to. She was named in 2011 as the

"21 Grams", and "Biutiful"?

9. Name the actor who -- before becoming known to Western audiences
for roles in "Anna and the King", "Pirates of the Caribbean: At
World's End", and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" -- was a star
of numerous Hong Kong action films, several directed by John Woo.
10. What martial arts action star's films include "Lethal Weapon 4",
"Romeo Must Die", "The Forbidden Kingdom", and "Hero" (2002)?
* Game 7, Round 10 - Sports Challenge Round
This round is all American football, all the time.
A. Breaking the Law
In each case, name the player.
A1. This two-time Super Bowl champion, two-time defensive player
of the year, and the MVP of Super Bowl XXXV, was indicted on
murder and aggravated-assault charges in 2000. The murder
charges were dismissed in exchange for a guilty plea to a
misdemeanor charge of obstruction of justice.
A2. In August 2013, this Patriots star was indicted for the
murder of Odin Lloyd, and he is currently being investigated
in connection with other murders in both Florida and
Massachusetts.
B. Places
In each case, name the team associated with the stadium mentioned.
B1. The Dawg Pound is the name of the bleacher section behind
the east end zone in FirstEnergy Stadium, the home field
of this NFL team. It is known for its extremely zealous
fan base.
B2. AT&T Stadium, completed in 2009, has a maximum capacity
of 105,000. It has the world's largest column-free interior
and the fourth-largest high-definition video screen, which
hangs from 20-yard line to 20-yard line.
C. Stuff that Happened a Long Time Ago
These questions are about the 1967 AFL-NFL World Championship Game,
nicknamed -- and then retroactively named officially -- the first
"Super Bowl", in which the Green Bay Packers defeated the Kansas
City Chiefs 35-10.
C1. Who was named MVP of the game?
C2. Where was it played? Name *either* the city or the stadium.
D. Science
D1. A football is what type of three-dimensional shape?
D2. What is the only combination of scoring plays by which an
NFL team can score a total of 5 points in a game?
This happened in the 1970 playoff game when the Dallas
Cowboys defeated the Detroit Lions 5-0.
E. Movies
In each case, name the movie.
E1. This 1998 college football comedy stars Adam Sandler as
Bobby Boucher, an intellectually challenged character with
an amazing talent for tackling. It also stars Henry Winkler
as the coach, and Kathy Bates as Boucher's mother. Name it.
E2. This 1999 Oliver Stone film stars Al Pacino as coach of the
Miami Sharks. It's star-studded cast also includes Cameron
Diaz, James Woods, Jamie Foxx, and LL Cool J. Name it.
F. Actors
In each case, name the athlete/actor.
F1. After playing for 13 years with the Oakland Raiders, he
jumped into the world of acting with roles in "Broken Arrow"
and "Firestorm". This Hall of Fame defensive end can now be
found as one of the co-hosts on FOX Network's NFL coverage.
F2. The first pick in the 1967 NFL draft, he played 9 seasons
in the NFL as a defensive end; his best-known movie character
is Moses Hightower in the "Police Academy" movies.

Prolate spheroid. I also accepted "ellipsoid". 4 for Joshua
and Dan Tilque.
A prolate spheroid is an ellipsoid with two axes equal and the
third longer, so "ellipsoid" is equally correct but less specific.
"Equally correct" may also be read as "equally incorrect": technically
neither one is an accurate description, since a football has slightly
pointed ends. But "prolate spheroid" is the common description and
was the intended answer.
