These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2018-02-05,
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*)".
* Game 4, Round 2 - Sports - Sailing terminology
In this round please decode each section of rot13 as you come to it,
after you have finished with all earlier questions.
For questions #1-6 please see the first handout:
http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/4-2/sail/1.png
1. On small boats like the one shown, item F can be moved for
sailing in shallows, or for transport on a trailer. What is
item F called?
Vs lbh fnvq "sbvy" sbe gur ynfg nafjre, cyrnfr tb onpx naq zber fcrpvsvp.
2. What is the term for item B, the wire that supports the mast
from the bow?
3. Item H controls the rudder. What is it called?
4. What is item M called?
5. Which letter is a shroud?
6. Which letter is a painter?
For questions #7-10 please see:
http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/4-2/sail/2.png
7. What number is a sloop?
8. Gur "Oyhrabfr" vf n fuvc bs glcr ahzore guerr: vgf qrsvavat

9. Look at the sails on the foremasts of ships 5 and 6, and the
two forward masts of number 7. Their configuration is
different than the other masts. What is the name of this sail
configuration seen on these foreward masts?
10. What number is a ketch? The name comes from the fact that
it was a common fishing vessel. The rigging allows the boat to
remain pointed windward while anchored, so it is not broadsided
by waves while handling the nets.
That's the end of the round, but if you want to identify the
other items for fun, but for no points, decode the rot13 below.
For questions #11-17, please return to the first handout, and
for #18-24, to the second one.

* Game 4, Round 3 - Entertainment - 1980s/90s Video Game Characters
We will provide a short description of a popular video game
character from the 1980s or '90s, and you will give us the
character's name.
1. This speedy blue character made his debut on the Sega Genesis
in 1991.
2. This character represented the player in Nintendo's
Punch-Out!! franchise. His opponents included Bald Bull,
Glass Joe, and King Hippo.
3. Although this character made his debut in 1981, a game involving
his country was a huge seller in 1994. He would throw barrels
in both games.
4. This character usually (although not always) has to save a
princess from the clutches of Bowser.
5. This green-hatted character is the bearer of the Triforce of
Courage. His name refers to a connection between the past and
the future.
6. This popular pocket monster's name was derived from a combination
of two Japanese words for sounds: the sound an electric spark
makes, and the sound a mouse makes.
7. This character battles the Space Pirates and their leader,
Ridley. Alternate endings to the first Metroid game reveal
that she is female.
8. This character, a 14-year-old, was the unofficial mascot of the
Sega Corporation in the late 1980s. He appeared in six games
from 1986 to 1990.
9. This blue android character is named Rockman in Japan. He uses
an arm-cannon to fight evil robots created by Dr. Wily.
10. This character is a pink spherical creature who lives in the
country of Dream Land. His main ability is inhaling things
and spitting them out.
