These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2016-07-11,
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 Usual Suspects 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 2016-05-31 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".
I wrote one of these rounds.
* Game 8, Round 7 - Geography - Map Errors
Please see:
http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/8-7/oops.pdf
To create this round, we have taken a number of maps and moved
some labels to places where they do not belong. For example,
please look at Map A on the handout. As you know, the city of
Belleville is in fact between Toronto and Kingston. But we have
erased it from that position and moved it to the actual location
of Brockville, on the other side of Kingston. Clear?
Similarly, look at Map B. In this case the Royal Ontario Museum
isn't even in the area that the map covers, so we didn't have to
erase it, but we've put it on the map at Yonge and Front where
the Hockey Hall of Fame should be. See it?
Okay, so on each map, one label that you see is wrong. For each
question we'll name a map and all you have to do is tell us which
label that is. You don't need to tell us what the place really is.
*So for Map B, you would answer R.O.M., not Hockey Hall of Fame.*
You answer with the label you *actually see* on the map.
For this forum, I have rearranged the round in order by map,
with the 4 decoys in sequence with the others. On the maps we
used as actual questions, we often removed some of the labels to
allow players a better chance to solve them within the time limit,
but we didn't do this for the 4 decoys, so they may be harder.
But we did create an error in each decoy map. Try them if you
like for fun, but for no points.
1. (Map C is a decoy. All street names and buildings are correct.
Which label that you see is wrong?)
2. Which label that you see on Map D is wrong?
3. Which *city* is wrong on Map E?
4. (Map F is a decoy. Which label for a landmark is wrong?)
5. (Map G is a decoy. Which station label is wrong?)
6. Which *city* label is wrong on Map H?
7. On Map I, don't worry about the bodies of water; we'll
tell you that those are correct. But which label for a
*city, state, or territory* is wrong?
8. On Map J, everything is correct in the small print showing
street names, subway stations, and so on. Which *landmark*
label in large print is wrong?
9. On Map K, everything related to the U of T is correct, or was
correct when this map was made. That is, all the circles with
building codes, and all the names of other U of T facilities,
those are all correct. So which label that you see is wrong?
10. On Map L, which *country* label is wrong?
11. On Map M, which *city* label is wrong?
12. (Map N is a decoy. Which label for a landmark is wrong?)
13. On Map O, all the street names and numbers are correct and so are
the bridges and tunnels. The label that's wrong is for *a river,
a district, or a park or square*. Which one is wrong?
14. On Map P, we'll tell you that once again all the bodies of
water are correct. Which *city* label is wrong?
* Game 8, Round 8 - Science - Old-Fashioned Disease Names
We'll give you an old name of a disease, you give the modern name
or describe the condition. Something tells us that the older you
are, the more fun you'll have with this round. Go try some of
them on your doctor the next time you're afflicted.
1. Dropsy.
2. Ague ["EH-gyoo"].
3. Apoplexy.
4. Carbuncle.
5. Neurasthenia.
6. Quinsy.
7. Falling sickness.
8. Hydrophobia.
9. Consumption.
10. Wen.

The Golden Gate Bridge, at the right edge. (And yes, Erland, you
can read that one.) Dan Blum got this.
It's actually off the map: it goes north from the northwestern part
of the city. That's the Bay Bridge, or in full, the San Francisco -
Oakland Bay Bridge.
> 2. Which label that you see on Map D is wrong?
Lake Titicaca. 4 for Bruce, Dan Blum, Erland, Joshua, Dan Tilque,
Calvin, Stephen, and Pete.
It should be off the bottom of the map, on the Bolivia-Peru border.
That lake in Venezuela is actually Lake Maracaibo.
> 3. Which *city* is wrong on Map E?
Asunción. 4 for Peter, Dan Blum, Erland, Joshua, Dan Tilque, Calvin,
Stephen, and Pete.
It should be in Paraguay, the light gray landlocked country.
The city marked Asunción is actually Montevideo, Uruguay.
> 4. (Map F is a decoy. Which label for a landmark is wrong?)
Circus Maximus, near the bottom. Dan Blum and Pete got this.
It actually has an elongated shape and is just off the bottom of
the map. That's the Colosseum.
> 5. (Map G is a decoy. Which station label is wrong?)
St. Paul's, at center. Peter, Dan Blum, and Erland got this.
It should be just off the right side of the map, the next station east
of Chancery Lane. The station marked St. Paul's is Piccadilly Circus.
I did not expect as many as 3 people to get this!
> 6. Which *city* label is wrong on Map H?
Denver. 4 for Peter, Dan Blum, Joshua, Dan Tilque, Marc, Stephen,
and Pete.
It should be in Colorado -- the *other* rectangular state.
That's actually Casper, Wyoming.

Tour Eiffel. 4 for Peter, Dan Blum, Erland, Joshua, Dan Tilque,
Stephen, and Pete.
The Eiffel Tower's base is too wide to even fit on the traffic island
as marked. It should be off the map, on the other side of the river
and some distance west. The structure in the Place de la Concorde
is actually the Egyptian obelisk nicknamed Cleopatra's Needle -- the
same nickname that's also used for obelisks in London and New York.

University Av.
It should be off the bottom of the map: University only goes
as far north as College St. The street marked University Av. is
actually Queen's Park. (Same name as the park around the provincial
legislature, at bottom right.)
> 10. On Map L, which *country* label is wrong?
Botswana. 4 for Peter, Bruce, Dan Blum, Erland, Joshua, Dan Tilque,
Calvin, Stephen, and Pete.
It's actually off the map to the southwest. The country marked
Botswana is Burundi.
> 11. On Map M, which *city* label is wrong?
Pyongyang. 4 for Peter, Bruce, Dan Blum, Erland, Joshua, Dan Tilque,
Calvin, Stephen, and Pete.
It should be in North Korea. (And yes, Erland, if you want to do it
the hard way, it also shouldn't be on the coast.) That's Gangneung.
> 12. (Map N is a decoy. Which label for a landmark is wrong?)
The Supreme Court, just below the river.
The actual Supreme Court building is a little to the west, near the
National Library and the Bank of Canada. That's Parliament.

Times Square. 4 for Peter, Dan Blum, Joshua, Marc, and Stephen.
3 for Calvin.
It's actually along Broadway from 42nd to 47th St. and has a sort of
bow-tie shape. The thing marked Times Square is Madison Square Park.
