These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2019-03-04,
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 5, Round 9 - Canadiana - Cuisine
In each case, name the food described.
1. A type of porridge made with a blend of wheat, rye, and flaxseed,
first created in the 1920s in Manitoba.
2. A brand or type of semi-soft rind cheese that was originally
manufactured by Trappist monks.
3. A fried dough pastry, stretched and sometimes coiled. Served to
President Obama when he visited Canada.
4. A no-bake dessert consisting of three layers: a wafer and
chocolate crumb base, custard-flavored butter icing in the
middle, and a layer of chocolate gamache on top.
5. Lean boneless pork loin, trimmed fine, wet cured, and rolled
in cornmeal. It is not smoked. It is the main ingredient in
the St. Lawrence Market's signature sandwich.
6. A dish popular in Quebec, made of layered ground beef, sautéed
onions, canned kernel corn, canned creamed corn, and mashed
potatoes on top. Answer in French.
7. A dense bread product that contains malt, egg, and no salt,
and is boiled in honey-sweetened water before being baked,
traditionally in a wood-fired oven. Often finished with
poppy seeds. Hint: its name refers to a city.
8. A type of chicken sandwich consisting of chicken, sliced bread,
and gravy. It is usually served with green peas and commonly
found in Québécois and Eastern Canadian cuisine. *Either*
name the sandwich in English or French, or else name the Quebec
restaurant chain that sells vast quantities of this item and
is the 16th-largest chain in Canada.
9. A pickled vegetable sauce or topping, popular in Quebec and
Eastern Canada. Acadians brought the recipe to the American
South. It is a combination of vegetables, mainly green and red
tomatoes, onions, carrots, beans of various types, asparagus,
cauliflower, and peas. We will accept the American name or
the one used here.
10. A Maritime dessert consisting of bread crumbs, raisins, brown
sugar, molasses, butter, flour, and spices. These are mixed and
put in a pudding bag, wrapped in cheesecloth, or stuffed into
an empty can and then boiled, usually along with the cooking
vegetables or the Jiggs dinner.

D2. What European city has a transit system called DART?

did it visit before that?
E2. The Japanese space agency JAXA currently has a probe visiting
the asteroid Ryugu while NASA has one visiting the asteroid
Bennu. What is the primary objective of both missions?

In the original game, this was the second-easiest round after the
current-events round.

Oka cheese.
The monks of Oka were shown on the CTV National News a few days after
the original game. There are a lot fewer of them than there used
to be, so they have moved into a new, smaller building that they had
designed for them. Not wanting to depend on charity, they're still
in the food business, but not cheese any more; that line was sold off.

17 (accepting 16-18). Since nobody was in range, I scored 15 or 19
as almost correct. Therefore, 2 for Calvin.
> * B. Oscars Refused

Marlon Brando, "The Godfather". 4 for Joshua, Pete, Calvin,
and Dan Tilque.
So this was the second question *in this game* about him winning
that award for that movie.
> B2. For which movie did George C. Scott refuse an Oscar?
"Patton" (1970). 4 for Dan Blum, Joshua, and Dan Tilque.
> * C. First Prime Ministers
> C1. Who was Israel's first prime minister?
David Ben-Gurion. 4 for Dan Blum, Joshua, Erland, Pete, and Calvin.
> C2. While the title was not then official, who is now usually

Robert Walpole (1730-42). 4 for Calvin.
> * D. Transit Systems
> D1. What North American city has a transit system called BART?
San Francisco. (Bay Area Rapid Transit, so Oakland and various
other cities it serves were also acceptable.) 4 for Dan Blum,
Joshua, Pete, and Dan Tilque.
> D2. What European city has a transit system called DART?
Dublin. (Yes, Dublin Area Rapid Transit.) 4 for Dan Blum
and Dan Tilque.

To return with a sample of the asteroid. 4 for Dan Tilque.

40. In fact it's the *only* integer with this property. 4 for
Dan Blum, Joshua, Pete, Calvin, and Dan Tilque.
> F2. 1 is both a perfect square and a perfect cube. What is
> the next integer with this property?
64, of course. The property is equivalent to being the sixth power
of an integer. 4 for everyone -- Dan Blum, Joshua, Erland, Pete,
Calvin, and Dan Tilque.

The monks of Oka were shown on the CTV National News a few days after

to be, so they have moved into a new, smaller building that they had
designed for them. Not wanting to depend on charity, they're still
in the food business, but not cheese any more; that line was sold off.
