These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2019-02-04,
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 Cellar Rats 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 2019-01-22 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".
* Game 2, Round 7 - Entertainment - A Name in the Title
In each case we give you the year and one cast member -- not
necessarily the star, and possibly a voice performer -- and
sometimes a bit more. For questions #1-9, you must name the movie
indicated, which in each case will have a name in its title.
1. 1975, Ann-Margret.
2. 2014, Keanu Reeves.
3. 2001, Jake Gyllenhaal.
4. 1982, Julie Andrews.
5. 1974, Dustin Hoffman in a biography of a comedian.
6. 1993, Kevin Kline in a political comedy.
7. 2014, Scarlett Johansson in science fiction.
8. 1992, Tim Robbins in a political satire.
9. 2012, Daniel Day-Lewis in a historical biography.
10. This question is about a franchise with Brad Dourif, which
began in 1988 and is up to 7 movies so far. The first movie
did not have a name in the title. Either name the first movie
or give the name that has appeared in the titles since 1998.
* Game 2, Round 8 - History - Fighting for Other Countries
These people or groups were famous soldiers who fought for countries
other than their own. Except as indicated, in each case name them.
(Note: For the purpose of writing questions, countries that have
changed their name still count as the same country.)
1. This man became famous for leading the Red Shirts in the fight
for the unification of Italy. He also organized revolutions or
civil wars in Uruguay and Brazil. Active roughly 1848 to 1870.
2. This group of mercenaries provided security at the courts of
France, Spain, and Naples, among others. Established in 1506,
it is one of the oldest military units in the world.
3. Living 1783 to 1830, this man was a military and political
leader who led campaigns for independence in a number of
countries in South America.
4. This group became known as one of the most elite mercenary
armies in Italy in the late 1300s. The troops were English,
German, Breton, and Hungarian, led by Englishman Sir John
Harkwood. Name the group.
5. In 1941-42, the Chinese Air Force included the First American
Volunteer Group, composed of pilots from the US Army Air Corps,
Navy, and Marines. What was their *nickname*?
6. Because of his Austrian citizenship, this German leader had to
request permission to serve in the Bavarian Army in World War I.
7. Tadeuzs Kosciusko ["Koss-CHOO-sko"] was a statesman, military
leader, and national hero in Poland and Lithuania. Then he moved
to a new country and joined an army that was fighting a major
revolution, rising to become a general. Which country was that?
8. This Argentinian took part in revolutions and uprisings in Cuba,
Guatemala, Congo -- and then Bolivia, where he was captured and
executed.
9. This Frenchman was a pirate and privateer in the Gulf of Mexico.
He helped the US defend New Orleans from the British in the
War of 1812. He also spied for the Spanish in the Mexican War
of Independence.
10. This French aristocrat and military officer fought in the
American Revolution, commanding American troops in several
major battles. After returning to France, he was a key figure
in the French Revolution of 1789 and the July Revolution of 1830.

Also, it's Hawkwood, not Harkwood.

These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2019-02-04,
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 Cellar Rats and are

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

my 2019-01-22 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".
In the NHL, officially the captain is simply the player who "shall
have the privilege of discussing with the Referee any questions
relating to interpretation of rules which may arise during the
progress of a game". But in practice he also serves to lead the
team's players in general, including being the person who speaks
with management on their behalf.
The team can also designate a certain number of "alternate" or
"assistant" captains, who wear the letter A instead of C, and may
exercise the captain's privilege with the referee any time the
captain is not on the ice.
These questions are about captains of the Toronto Maple Leafs.
1. For the past 3 years, the Leafs have been playing with only
alternate captains and no designated captain. The last captain
they had led the team from 2010 until 2016, and currently plays
for the L.A. Kings. What's his name?
2. Before <answer 1>, Mats Sundin was the Leafs' captain from 1997
until 1998. Which jersey number did he wear?
3. Please decode the rot13 for this question only after you are
finished with the previous one. Fhaqva jber #guvegrra; nabgure

4. The Toronto St. Patricks were renamed the Maple Leafs in 1926,
when Bert Corbeau was captain. Who followed him and was captain
from 1927 until 1937?
5. This player had two stints as the Leafs' captain -- first from
1948 to 1955, and then for the 1957-58 season. In 1946 he
changed from wearing #10 to #9. He passed away in 2009.
What was his name?
6. This captain led the Leafs from 1975 to 1981, except for a
9-month hiatus when he rejected the title due to a dispute with
management and nobody wore the C. His record of 10 points in a
single game against the Boston Bruins -- 6 goals and 4 assists --
still stands today. What's his name?
7. This Saskatchewan-born captain was chosen first overall in
the 1985 NHL entry draft, and led the Leafs from 1991 to 1994.
What's his name?
8. <answer 5> never wore jersey #10 as captain, but two other Leafs
did: one from 1940 to 1943 and again 1945-48, the other from
1957 until 1959. Name *either one*.
9. He is the only player in Leafs history to be named team captain
before playing a single game for the team. He was captain from
1989 to 1991. He had won the Stanley Cup with the Calgary Flames
in 1989, and later won again with the Montreal Canadiens in 1993.
Name him.
10. This player moved from the Calgary Flames to the Leafs as part
of a 10-player trade, the largest in NHL history. He was the
Leafs' captain from 1994 to 1997. What's his name?
