These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2013-03-11,
and should be interpreted accordingly. All questions were written
by members of the Night Owls, but have been reformatted and may
have been retyped and/or edited by me. I will reveal the correct
answers in about 3 days.
For further information, including an explanation of the """
notation that may appear in these rounds, see my 2022-09-09
companion posting on "Reposted Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (RQFTCI*)".
* Game 6, Round 1 - Current Events (excerpt)
Answer these 2013 questions if you like for fun, but for no points.
1. Last week, the Bay announced it will be changing its logo for
the first time since 1965. As well, the name on their stores
will be changing. What will be the new name of the Bay stores
starting this year?
2. What movie, about an African child soldier, won the Canadian
Screen Award for best picture plus 9 other Canadian screen
awards, last week?
* Game 6, Round 2 - Entertainment - O'Hollywood
This round is about performers whose last name starts with "O'".
*In each case give BOTH THE FIRST AND LAST NAME* of the actor or
actress described; last names may repeat.
1. He """is""" perhaps best known for his role as Oliver Barrett IV,
the son of wealthy and well-respected Harvard University
graduates, who falls in love with Jennifer Cavelleri, a
quick-witted, working-class Radcliffe College student.
2. Best known for playing a misanthropic women's shoe salesman
with a miserable life. He hates his job, his wife is lazy, his
son is dysfunctional (especially with women), and his daughter
is dim-witted and promiscuous.
3. This comedienne was born into an Irish family in Commack,
Long Island. She played third baseman Doris Murphy alongside
Geena Davis and Tom Hanks.
4. This actor played a working-class family man who held bigoted,
conservative views of the world. His viewpoints clashed with
nearly everyone he came into contact with, especially his
liberal son-in-law.
5. This actor """is""" best known for his starring role in the ABC
television series "The Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp" (1955-61).
He also holds the distinction of playing the last character that
John Wayne ever killed on the screen, in Wayne's final movie
"The Shootist" (1976).
6. American dancer, singer, and actor who came to fame in a series
of movies in which he co-starred alternately with Gloria Jean,
Peggy Ryan, and Francis the Talking Mule. He is best known today
for his role as Gene Kelly's friend and colleague Cosmo Brown.
7. This actor played a fictionalized version of the catalog-company
entrepreneur John Peterman in a well-known sitcom from 1995 to
1998. In 2001 he financed the relaunch of the J. Peterman Co.
and thus became its part-owner in real life.
8. This actress """is""" perhaps best known for playing Jane in
the Tarzan movie series starring Johnny Weismuller. She """is"""
also the mother of Mia Farrow.
9. American actor. He played Dick Grayson (Robin) in two
Batman movies, "Batman Forever" and "Batman & Robin". He
"""currently""" stars as NCIS Special Agent G. Callen on the
CBS crime drama television series "NCIS: Los Angeles".
10. This """retired""" professional basketball player """has had"""
limited success in Hollywood, most noted for playing a "rappin'
genie with an attitude" in the movie "Kazaam".
Reminder: first and last names for all answers.
* Game 6, Round 3 - Geography - Coastal Cities
We give you a country's """most populous""" coastal city; you name
the country.
1. Kiel.
2. Varna.
3. Busan.
4. Split.
5. Jeddah.
6. Odessa.
7. Mombasa.
8. Latakia.
9. Chittagong.
10. Barranquilla.

In the absence of the ability to redirect output and input, a still
clumsier method would have been to require the "ls" command to accept user
requests to paginate its output, to print in multi-column format, and
to arrange that its output be delivered off-line. Actually it would be
surprising, and in fact unwise for efficiency reasons, to expect authors
of commands such as "ls" to provide such a wide variety of output options.
