These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2017-11-27,
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 Smith & Guessin' 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 2017-09-25 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".
* Game 10, Round 2 - History - Saints Through the Ages
The Roman Catholic Church has recognized thousands of saints.
We will give you a description of some of the most popular
saints. You name the saint. For most questions the first name
is sufficient.
1. He was a Roman soldier and priest. He was tortured and martyred
by the Emperor Diocletian on April 23, 303.
2. He was a Spanish knight who fought in many battles, was injured
and became a priest and theologian. He founded the Jesuit
order and died in 1556.
3. She was a young leader of the French army during the Hundred
Years' War. Captured by the Burgundians and sold to the English,
she was tried in an ecclesiastical court and condemned to death.
She was burned at the stake.
4. She won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979 for her work with the
Sisters of Charity, an order she founded to work with the poor in
India. She died in 1997, and was recently canonized as a saint.
5. The first Angel saint to be given a day in the calendar. He is
mentioned in the Bible in the Book of Revelation as the protector
of Christians during the apocalypse. The fall term in English
schools bears his name.
6. He was a Roman-Briton born about 385. He was carried off by
raiders and enslaved, and used as a herdsman. He escaped after
6 years and trained as a priest in France, then journeyed to
Ireland as a missionary Bishop. He provided leadership as the
Christian church grew in Ireland, establishing himself in Armagh.
7. He was born in Italy in 1181, the son of a wealthy merchant.
When he discerned his Christian vocation, he was disinherited by
his father and became a penniless preacher. Pope Innocent III
authorized him to set up a group of friars, who would refuse
all material wealth, and even corporate wealth. They later
developed into a religious order.
8. He was Bishop of Myra in Lycia (southwestern Asia) in the
4th century. Legend has it that he saved three girls from
prostitution by throwing three bags of gold as dowry into
their window at night. Another legend has him saving three
unjustly condemned men from death. His day is marked in the
Roman Catholic calendar as December 6.
9. He was a martyr in the 3rd century is Asia Minor. Not much
else is known about him. He is the patron saint of wayfarers
and motorists. Medieval belief was that anyone who looked on
an image of him would suffer no harm that day.
10. He was a bishop and leading theologian in the 4th century.
Born in 354, he left his home in North Africa to study in
Italy and was baptized as a Christian at age 33. He became
a priest a few years later in Africa, and served as a bishop.
He left an enormous body of written work 113 books, 200 letters
and 500 sermons. Two are still in print: "Confessions" and
"The City of God".
After completing the round, please decode the rot13: Sbe nal

* Game 10, Round 3 - Canadiana Geography - Official Provincial Things

us the *province or territory*. For example, if we ask which
province's flower is the white trillium, you would say Ontario.
Answers may repeat.
1. Which province or territory's official flower is the wild rose?
2. Which province or territory's official flower is the purple
saxifrage?
3. Which province or territory's official bird is the common raven?
4. Which province or territory's official animal is the spirit bear?
5. Name either one of the two adjacent provinces whose official
fish is the walleye.
6. Which province or territory's official bird is the blue jay?
7. Which province or territory's official tree is the eastern
white pine?
8. Which province or territory's official tree is the black spruce?
