These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2014-11-10,
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 Unnatural Axxxe, 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 2014-09-15 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".
* Game 8, Round 2 - History - Czarist/Communist Russia
You say you want a revolution? This round is about Mother Russia
from Napoleon to Stalin.
1. Under which Czar did Russia repel Napoleon's invasion?
2. This Czar is often called the Abraham Lincoln of Russia.
He was a reformer who freed the serfs in 1866 and was
assassinated. Name him.
3. According to Boney M., Rasputin was Russia's greatest love
machine. That may be, but can you name the czarina he
spiritually advised?
4. Who led the provisional government of Russia between the fall
of the czars and the takeover by the Bolsheviks?
5. Please decode the rot13 for question #5 only after you have
finished with questions #1-4, guhf rfgnoyvfuvat gur gurzr bs

6. And now, back to the Bolsheviks. After being smuggled back into
Russia via Finland by the Germans, the exiled Lenin addressed
them with a barn-burner of a speech that served as a call
to revolution. By what name is that speech now known?
7. What significant event happened at Yekaterinburg, Russia,
on 1918-07-17?
8. In the Russian Civil War of 1917-22, the Bolsheviks' "Red Army"
fought anti-Communist forces known by what name?
9. What relevant event happened on 1940-08-21 in the Mexico City
suburb of Coyoacán?
10. Either name the Bolshevik secret police under Lenin, or give
the new name they adopted in 1934 under Stalin. (Give the
short form in either case.)
* Game 8, Round 3 - Miscellaneous - Oh, to be a B.J.!
Earlier this season we had an audio round of Jim talking to people.
Then a Brian round. Now it's time to honor a third member of
Axxxe, namely B.J. -- and this time with a handout!
http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/8-3/bj.pdf
Again I've sorted the questions into picture order, and again
there are no decoys in this round. Note also that the letters
are *below* the pictures; the bottom picture on each page is
unlettered and intended for humor value.
1. In picture A, who is this pop crooner, most popular in the
1960s and 1970s?
2. In picture B, who is B.J.'s sidekick in this 1979-81 comedy
series? (Give the name as it appears in the title.)
3. In picture C, who is this Maple Leaf great, sometimes nicknamed
"B.J."?
4. Picture D shows a relief pitcher for the Jays from 2006 to 2009.
He signed a big contract, but his career was cut short by
arm problems. Name him.
5. Picture E. Name this *character* from a long-running 1970s
sitcom.
6. Picture F is for the youngsters -- a 21st-century entertainment
question! Name this writer and actor from a popular 2000s
comedy series.
7. In picture G, Billie Joe Armstong says hello. Name the band
pictured.
8. In picture H, the "J." in "B.J." is not the middle initial.
We ran out of amusing ones. Bon Jovi would've been nice here,
but you get this guy instead. Give his *first and last name*.
9. Picture I. This US general led American Expeditionary Forces
in World War I and later lent his name to a popular and stylish
line of battle tanks. His nickname was "Black Jack", so they
probably called him "B.J." behind his back. Name him.
10. In picture J, meet B.J. Vorster, the prime minister 1966-78 --
of which nation?

I bet they did not call him "B.J." since "Black Jack" was actually
the polite(r) version of his nickname, not the one used behind his
back.
