These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2013-11-04,
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 in a single followup to the newsgroup,
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 Clueless, 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
2013-09-15 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".
* Game 7, Round 7 - Sports - Trophies.
For questions #1-6, we will give the name or nickname of a trophy,
and you name the tournament, championship, competition, or event
whose winner or winners receive it.
1. Claret Jug (nickname).
2. Borg-Warner Trophy.
3. Webb Ellis Cup.
4. Larry O'Brien Championship Trophy.
5. Venus Rosewater Dish.
6. "The Auld Mug" (nickname), first awarded in 1851.
For questions #7-10, name the trophy.
7. This NHL trophy is awarded to the league's most outstanding
*rookie* player of the year. The most recent winner is Jonathan
Huberdeau.
8. Name *either* of the two trophies awarded to the top male and
top female athlete of the year, as voted by the sportswriters
of the Canadian Press. In 2012, the winners were Ryder Hesjedal
and Christine Sinclair.
9. Bud Selig just awarded this trophy to the World Series champion
Boston Red Sox last week. Name the trophy.
10. This trophy has awarded annually since 1935 to the person
deemed the most outstanding player in US collegiate football.
In 2012, Johnny Manziel became the first freshman player to
win it.
* Game 7, Round 8 - Miscellaneous - Booze Bottles (HANDOUT)
Bottles of booze often have distinctive shapes. We'll give you
the number of a silhouette on the handout
http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/7-8/booze.pdf
and the general type of alcohol, and you tell us the specific brand.
Note that the bottles are not necessarily to scale.
Again, for this medium I'll put them in numerical order and include
the 4 decoys in the sequence. Answer those if you like for fun,
but for no points.
1. An Irish coffee/chocolate liqueur.
2. A French black raspberry liqueur.
3. An Italian liqueur.
4. A blended Canadian whiskey.
5. A French cognac-based liqueur.
6. A Jamaican rum.
7. (decoy) a Kentucky bourbon whiskey.
8. A German digestif.
9. (decoy) a Mexican coffee-flavoured rum-based liqueur.
10. (decoy) an English gin.
11. A Trinidad and Tobago black spiced rum.
12. (decoy) a Russian vodka.
13. A variety of Swiss schnapps.
14. An Italian liqueur.
