These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2018-07-16,
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 4 days.
All questions were written by members of What She Said 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 2018-07-16 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".
** Game 8, Round 9 - Miscellaneous - Christmas (in July)
It's boiling hot outside, so is there a more appropriate time
for a round about Christmas traditions, history, and culture?
We think not.
1. El Caganer ["cah-gah-NAY"] is a traditional Catalonian addition
to the Nativity scene which dates back over 300 years: it is
a figurine of a peasant doing a specific activity. Doing what?
2. Eating Kentucky Fried Chicken as a Christmas Day meal has become
a widely practiced tradition in which country?
3. In the animated TV special "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer",
what is the name of Rudolph's dogsled-driving prospector friend?
4. What is the proper title of the song commonly known as "Chestnuts
Roasting on an Open Fire"?
5. During his life, St. Nicholas was the Bishop of Myra. In what
present-day country is Myra located?
6. Which English leader outlawed Christmas in 1647?
7. Who was the first British monarch to broadcast a Christmas
message to his or her subjects via radio?
8. Which country awarded citizenship to Santa Claus in 2008?
9. The shape of a candy cane was originally inspired by what?
10. In "A Christmas Story", the Old Man wins a "Major Award"
in a sweepstakes. What is it? Be specific.
** Game 8, Round 10 - Challenge Round - Gardens
For what is trivia, if not a garden of earthly delights?
* A. Plants that are Bad for You
Name them.
A1. Widely cultivated for ornamental purposes, this flowering
shrub is so toxic that even its sap can give severe allergic
reactions.
A2. Every part of this plant, prized for its delicate, scented
flowers and often used in bridal bouquets, is highly
poisonous.
* B. Flowery Books
B1. Which 1980 historical novel by an Italian semiotics
professor, set in a 14th-century Italian monastery,
brought worldwide fame to its author?
B2. This 1987 novel, set in 1940's Los Angeles and based on a
famous murder, brought author James Ellroy the literary
cred that his previous crime novels hadn't. Name it.
* C. Garden Arenas
C1. Within 4 years, when was the very first NHL hockey game
played at Maple Leaf Gardens? Hint: the Leafs lost to the
Black Hawks.
C2. Madison Square Gardens in New York is actually the fourth
building to bear that name. The location of the first is now
Madison Park, near the Flatiron Building. Within 8 years,
when was that first Madison Square Gardens built?
* D. In an English Country Garden
D1. Located in southwest London, this UNESCO World Heritage
site was founded in 1840, and is approximately 300 acres
(or over 120 ha) in size. Name it.
D2. Once the home of Vita Sackville-West and Harold Nicholson,
now owned by the National Trust, this is one of the most
famous gardens in England, located in Kent. Name it.
* E. A Cinematic Bouquet
In each case, name the movie that has a flower in its title.
E1. 1989: Jessica Tandy, Morgan Freeman, and Dan Aykroyd.
E2. 1989: Sally Field, Julia Roberts, and Dolly Parton.
* F. Gardens of History and Legend
F1. According to legend, King Nebuchadnezzar II built
which "wonder of the world" because his wife Queen Amyitis
["am-ee-EYE-tis"] missed the hills of her homeland?
F2. According to several books of the Bible, it is said that
Jesus prayed here, and his disciples slept here, the night
before the Crucifixion. Where?
