QFTCI11 Game 3 Rounds 7-8: maple leaves, Trek fun
Mark Brader
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. For further information see
my 2011-05-23 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI5GNM, QFTCI11, QFTCIMM)".
I wrote one of these rounds.
* Game 3, Round 7 - Maple Leaves
As you might just possibly guess from the handout
http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/0307/leaf.jpg
this is the Canadiana round. We would like to warn you that,
in addition to removing all text from the images, in some cases
we've also removed some of the imagery surrounding the maple
leaf, replacing it with a continuation of the background color.
For example, some of the leaves shown here were originally in
tight clusters of two or three, but we're showing only the one.
Similarly, some of the leaves are only used on certain narrow
objects, whose edges we've removed from the handout by extending
the background.
In some cases multiple versions of a symbol used in different
contexts or in different years are shown. These will always be
in consecutive squares in one row on the handout, and if you are
asked for a number then you can name *any one*.
1. Got all that? Okay, then where does leaf #37 come from?
*After* answering this question, please decode the rot13:
Guvf bar vf hfrq va inevbhf tbireazragny ybtbf, ohg gurl
pbcvrq vg sebz fbzrjurer ryfr. Vs lbhe nafjre ersreerq gb
fhpu n ybtb, punatr vg gb gryy jurer gubfr qrcnegzragf tbg
vg sebz.
2. Where would you find leaf #33?
3. Leaves #24 through 28 have all been used by the same company
or organization. Name it.
4. Please decode the rot13 after answering question 3. Yrns #1

jvgu gurve cerfrag ybtb pbafvfgvat va shyy bs gjb zbqvsvrq
yrggref. Jung pbzcnal be betnavmngvba jnf gung?
5. The next two questions deal with food-related businesses.
What former company used leaf #36?
6. What food-related company uses leaf #32?
7. Each of the leaves in the third row of the handout, that is
leaves #15 through 21, has been used by one of three different
organizations working in the same field. Name any one of
these groups *and* give the number of any one of its logos.
By the way, the tilted stem on leaf #19 doubles as an acute
accent over a letter E, making that logo bilingual.
8. Which leaf was used on hockey uniforms at the last Winter
Olympics?
9. Which leaf appears on signs for the Trans-Canada Highway?
10. Which leaf appears on Canadian military aircraft?
The remaining leaves include some well-known organizations and
some from obscure sources that we just picked to fill out the grid.
Identify the ones that you can if you like for fun, but for no
points. The leaf numbers in rot13 are: gjb guebhtu svir, rvtug
guebhtu guvegrra, gjragl-gjb, gjragl-guerr, guvegl, guvegl-bar,
guvegl-sbhe, guvegl-svir, guvegl-rvtug guebhtu sbegl-gjb.
* Game 3, Round 8 - Food, Drink, and Entertainment... Star Trek Style
This round is about food, drink, and entertainment as depicted
on the various "Star Trek" TV series. For the first 5 questions,
name the food or drink described.
1. Although outlawed in Starfleet (at least in the original
series), this potent tipple from a hostile power nevertheless
seems to be present at every celebration.
2. What is Jean-Luc Picard's favorite beverage while on duty?
Be sufficiently specific.
3. This squirming Klingon ("KLING-on") delight, according to
Commander Riker, is best served fresh.
4. This squirming Ferengi ("fe-RENG-ghee") delight, according
to Quark, is best served chilled to perfection.
5. This "warrior's drink" became one of Worf's favorites.
6. Turning now to entertainment for the remaining questions,
we'll stay with the subject of Worf for this one. Klingons
pride themselves on their prowess in weapon usage and martial
arts, staging many competitions. Worf's favorite weapon
in competition is a large, curved blade with a lengthwise
handle and multiple spiked ends. What's it called?
7. This entertainment venue and medium appears in many
episodes of different Star Trek series, starting with "Star
Trek: The Next Generation". It is often used to render 19th
or 20th century retro settings -- for example, for the Dixon
Hill detective stories, and the adventures of Captain Proton,
science-fiction hero. What is this venue and medium called?
8. More than one starship captain has been entranced by green,
dancing slave girls from what star system?
9. Commander Riker was king of the Enterprise at this game, at
least until Data started playing. But Data once played
against holodeck reproductions of Albert Einstein, Stephen
Hawking, and Sir Isaac Newton. What game is this?
10. Another game of chance, seen especially on "Star Trek:
Deep Space Nine", is a roulette-style game developed by
the Ferengi. The players are frequently distracted by
intoxicating beverages and lovely girls. Name the game.

This was the easiest round in the original game and the 3rd-easiest
in the entire season.

Nobody tried these.
2. Finance and Leasing Professionals of Canada.
3. Applied Linguistics Centre, a division of Herzing College in
Winnipeg.
4. McDonald's Canada.
5. A tattoo on the back of a Great Big Sea fan from Indiana,
who used the name "Lovely Lucy" when she posted it on the
band's web site. "This maple leaf", she says, "represents my
deep love for Canada and Great Big Sea."
8-11. Air Canada Jazz (Air Canada's commuter affiliate).
12. Petro-Canada.
13. NAID Canada; NAID is the National (i.e. US) Association for
Information Destruction (e.g. shredding).
22. Maple Leaf Farms.
23. Ringette Canada. (Ringette is a non-contact ice sport mostly
for girls.)
30. CanJet Airlines.
31. Environment Canada's EcoLogo program ("Environmental Choice").
34. Maple Leaf Day, our national tree day, September 22, 2010.
35. Canadian Tourism Commission ("Canada: Keep exploring").
38. The Canada Games.
39. The Canadian coat of arms; therefore also seen on the old red
ensign flag.
40. Taxwiz Accounting and Consulting, a Vancouver company.
41-42. Toronto Maple Leafs (1938 and current 1982 versions; others
were introduced in 1926, 1927, 1966, and 1970). It's said that
one reason the Maple Leafs dropped the old logo was that they
didn't have copyright control over it -- as the existence of
#40 seems to confirm.

Prune juice.

juice commercial.

> Orion is a star system? ... The writers should be strung up!
That just shows that usage is going to change between now and the
time in question (just as we know from the original "Star Trek"
and its sequels that people will finally convert to using metric
sometime around the start of the 24th century).
Perhaps this usage of "Orion" is going to originate as an informal
shortening for the long name of a particular star system that is the
first one in that constellation to be discovered to be inhabited,
for instance -- just as we now see the reporters writing "E. coli"
when they mean to refer to the few specific strains of E. coli that
make people seriously ill.

Perhaps you should have.
If these answers had been posted on time, they would have scored
16 and 36 points in the two rounds.
