These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2015-11-23,
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 the Bloor St. Irregulars,
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 2015-08-18 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".
* Game 9, Round 2 - Sports - Top 50 Scorers in NBA Basketball
Here are 10 questions about the top 50 point-scorers in NBA history.
Details are as of 2015-11-18.
Where we ask for a player, as usual the surname is sufficient, but
in some cases it's also acceptable to instead give the first name
alone; specifics will follow in rot13. Where we ask for a team,
either the city or the team name is acceptable.
1. #6 on the list: This center played on numerous teams, but
his greatest success was with the Los Angeles Lakers, where he
won 4 NBA titles and 3 MVPs. He also appeared in such cinematic
masterpieces as "Kazaam" and "Good Burger". Name him.
2. #25 on the list: This North Carolina graduate and former
Toronto Raptor electrified the league with his dunking ability
and game-winning shots in the late 1990s and early 2000s,
but was eventually traded to the New Jersey Nets in what was
regarded as one of the worst trades in league history.
3. #5 on the list: This 13-time all-star holds many records,
including being the only player to score 100 points in a game
and the most games both with more than 40 and with more than 50
points scored. He may be more infamously known for his claim
that he slept with over 20,000 women. Name this player.
4. #20 on the list: This 2006 Hall of Fame inductee and teammate of
<answer 3> is second to Michael Jordan in playoff scoring average
and has won 10 titles as a player or executive. His most famous
nickname is "the Logo", as it was his likeness that inspired
the NBA's logo. Name him.
5. #4 on the list: Michael Jordan scored the vast majority of his
points with the Chicago Bulls, 1984-98. But in 2001 he returned
as a player with the team whose part-owner and executive he
had become. Name this team, which he played for during the
2001 and 2002 seasons before his final retirement.
6. #1 on the list: Kareem Abdul-Jabbar won 5 championships with
the 1980s "Showtime" Lakers. He was traded to the Lakers in 1976
after having played several years with another team, including
a title and Finals MVP award in 1971. Name that other team,
which drafted Kareem in 1969.
7. #3 on the list: This 17-time all-star and 5-time NBA champion
was drafted by the Charlotte Hornets, but traded to his current
team where he has played a record 20 seasons. He gave himself
the nickname of "the Black Mamba". Name him.
8. #19 on the list: This Cavaliers superstar became the
highest-earning basketball player in 2013 (surpassing <answer 7>)
at $56,500,000, including endorsement deals with Nike and
Samsung. On the court, he has won 4 regular-season MVPs, 2 NBA
titles, and 2 Olympic gold medals (among many other accolades
and achievements). Name him.
9. #31 on the list: This native of French Lick, Indiana, was
known as the "Basketball Jesus", winning 3 NBA titles and 3 MVPs.
He was also National College Player of the year in 1979, and his
#33 jersey has been retired by the team he played 13 years with.
Name him.
10. #10 on the list: This Nigerian-American legend won back-to-back
titles with the Houston Rockets in 1995 and 1996. His signature
low post move was called the "Dream Shake". Name him.

* Game 9, Round 3 - Science - Human Anatomy
Here are some questions to test your knowledge on anatomical
structures in the body and some unfortunate injuries that can
occur to them.
1. This band of fibrous tissue connects one bone to another.
Name it.
2. This band of fibrous tissue connects a bone to a muscle.
Name it.
3. Fractures are breaks in bones. In some cases, these breaks
are caused by individual injuries or impacts. Conversely,
another type of fracture is caused by repetitive applications
of force -- usually overuse. Name this type of fracture.
4. What name is used to describe a fracture where the broken bone
is exposed through the skin?
5. There are three bones in the middle ear, referred to as ossicles,
that are the smallest bones in the human body. The Latin names
are malleus, incus, and stapes. In English, we call them the
hammer, the anvil, and the... what?
6. The largest bone in the body is the femur. What is the name
of the surgical procedure that replaces the head of the femur
and the acetabulum?
7. What is the more common term for the injury diagnostically
known as medial tibial stress syndrome, commonly noted as the
most prevalent lower-leg injury?
8. What is the more common term for lateral epicondylitis, a
repetitive strain injury affect athletes and laborers?
9. What is the delicious name for any of the three <answer 2>s
contracted by the semi-membranosus, semi-tendinosus, and
biceps femoris? The term is sometimes used to describe those
muscles too.
10. Derived from the Greek word for "crescent", name this
fibro-cartilaginous structure, whose function is to disperse
body weight and reduce fiction during movement. It is most
commonly injured in the knee, but is also found in the wrist,
shoulder, and jaw. Name this structure.
