These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2018-04-03,
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 Bill Psychs 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 2017-09-25 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".
** Final, Round 8 - Science
* More Keyboard Pairs
Please keep your eyes away from your keyboard until you have finished
thinking about these questions!
Remember back in Game 1:
In each question we will name one character on a key and you
must name the other one that is produced on a typical modern
QWERTY keyboard by changing the shift setting. For example,
if we said "4" you would answer "$" -- and vice versa.
Here we go again.
1. "%".
2. "/".
3. ">".
* Vaguely Diseasey
4. Barry Marshall ingested Helicobacter pylori to prove that it
caused certain diseases. Name either disease.
5. Which deadly virus has been modified to be used to map the brain?
6. Treponema pallidum causes which sexually transmitted infection?
* Airplane Flight
7. In aviation, what is the term for the speed beyond which a
takeoff can no longer be safely aborted? Once a plane reaches
this speed, it can no longer stop before the end of the runway.
8. Unlike ships, airplanes are not usually turned simply by moving
the rudder. Instead, parts of the wing are raised or lowered,
rolling the plane so that some of the lift acts sideways.
What is the name for these parts of the wing, on a conventional
airplane?
9. What is the name for the angle formed between the wing or
fuselage itself and its relative motion through the air?
* Sound and Hearing
10. The three bones in the middle ear are the hammer, anvil,
and stirrup -- or if you prefer, the malleus, incus, and stapes.
But by what one-word name are they *collectively* known?
11. The <answer 10> serve to transmit vibrations from the eardrum
to *what organ* within the inner ear?
12. The typical frequency range of human hearing is from 20 Hz
to about 20,000 Hz -- which is how many octaves? (To the
nearest whole number.)
* Vitamins
We give you the chemical name of the compound; you give the usual
short term for the vitamin. For example, if we say ascorbic acid,
you say C. Some vitamins actually consist of any of multiple
compounds; we may not name them all.
13. Tocopherols, tocotrienols.
14. Retinol.
15. Phylloquinone, menaquinones.

V-1. As this is paraphrased in various ways and the question
neglected to specify what sort of answer was intended, I decided to
treat the answers "decision point" and "critical speed" as almost
correct. So, 3 for Peter and Dan Blum.

Ailerons. 4 for Joshua, Dan Tilque, Peter, and Pete.

Angle of attack (or incidence). 4 for Joshua, Peter, and Dan Blum.

Ossicles.

Cochlea. Based on the Swedish translation I scored "snail" as
almost correct. 4 for Peter. 3 for Erland.

10. (Because 20,000/20 = 1,000, which is close to 2^10 = 1,024.)
4 for Dan Tilque, Peter, and Dan Blum.
