These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2011-02-28,
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 did not write either of these rounds.


* Game 6, Round 7 - Serial Killers

Everyone loves a serial killer -- or at least everyone in the
news or TV drama business. So now we're going to test how well
you know your serial killers. The list below shows some of the
best-known and most notorious serial killers. For each one we
will give you their nickname and tell you the years they operated
as well as the city that they operated in *or near*, and you give
the real name from the list.

In some cases the years we give are approximate, as it's not always
certain exactly which murders the serial killer was responsible
for. Also, in one or two cases the crimes turned out to have been
committed by two men; then both names are on the list and you can
give us either one.

* Game 6, Round 8 - Sewing Supplies, Equipment, and Terminology

For the first 5 questions please see page 1 of the handout, at
http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/0608/sew/p1.jpg

1. On picture 5, look at the design detail that we have marked
with two X's. Two parts of the same piece of fabric, that
would form a V-shape if lying flat, have been sewn together to
give the dress its 3-dimensional shape. What is this called?

2. What sort of fastening is seen running vertically down the
middle of picture 6? Be specific.

3. The coat in picture 3 has flat pockets sewn onto the outside
of it: what are those called?

4. What type of shears are seen in picture 4?

5. Go back to picture 3, and this time look at the seams where
the sleeve meets the body of the coat. What is the name
for this type of sleeve?

For the remaining questions please see page 2 of the handout, at
http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/0608/sew/p2.jpg

6. The stitching in picture 14 is used to temporarily fasten
two pieces of fabric. What type of stitch is it?

7. The stitching in picture 12 is used to reinforce edges;
for example, it's used around the edge of heavy fabrics.
What type of stitch is it?

8. Look at picture 22. What is the name for this type of spool?

9. Look at picture 19 and note the position of the seams where
the sleeve meets the body of the T-shirt, as highlighted
by the boundary between the dark and light colors. What is
the name for *this* type of sleeve?

10. The 2-color checked design in picture 23 is known by the
name of a type of fabric it is commonly used with. What is
that name?

So pictures 1, 2, 7, 8, 9, and 10 on page 1; and 11, 13, 15, 16,
17, 18, 20, 21, and 24 on page 2; were decoys. Identify them
if you like for fun, but for no points. (In picture 2, what you
need to name is the type of neckline.)

I should've mentioned that in picture 1 you were supposed to identify
the style of print. Anyway, nobody tried these.

1. Border print.
2. Sweetheart neckline.
7. Thimble.
8. Buttonholer foot.
9. Cutter (the bottom wheel has a sharp edge).
10. Serger or overlock sewing machine.
11. Zigzag stitch.
13. Lockstitch.
15. Needle.
16. Overcast stitch.
17. Eyelet.
18. Pattern.
20. Point press.
21. Ham.
24. Zipper foot.

Amazing how picking the two guys with French names gets the Parisian
killers.

An ex-girlfriend was a serial killer buff. That one I remembered
from a book she had. I have no real interest in that stuff.

Not much to tell. She had a bunch of books about various serial
killers. She didn't seem to have any tendencies in that direction.
