These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2015-06-22,
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 Five Guys Named Moe, 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 2015-08-18 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".
* Game 9, Round 2 - Geography - National Creatures
Many countries adopt birds and/or animals as national symbols --
to preserve heritage, to promote tourism, or to help protect the
species. In this round, we have 10 questions on such national
birds and animals adopted by countries. In each case, we give
you an animal or a bird, and you name the country.
1. Snow leopard.
2. Cow.
3. Komodo dragon.
4. Peacock.
5. Dodo.
6. Dalmatian.
7. Vicuña.
8. Springbok (gazelle).
9. Giraffe.
10. Quetzal.
* Game 9, Round 3 - Science - Eponymous Laws
Laws, theorems, adages, and other succinct observations have often
been named after a person. Newton's laws of motion are a well
known example. This round is on such eponymous laws. In each
case, we give the person's years of birth and death, the field
of observation, and a statement or a summary of the observation;
you name the person.
1. 287-212 BC. Physics. "The upward buoyant force that is exerted
on a body immersed in a fluid is equal to the weight of the
fluid that the body displaces."
2. 1627-1691. Gas law in chemistry. "The volume and pressure
of an ideal gas of fixed mass held at a constant temperature
are inversely proportional."
3. 1919-1990. Management. "In a hierarchy, every employee tends
to rise to his (or her) level of incompetence."
4. 1775-1836. Physics. The circuital law which relates the
circulating magnetic field in a closed loop to the electric
current passing through the loop.
5. 1791-1867. Law of induction in physics. "A magnetic field
changing in time creates a proportional electromotive force."
6. 1889-1953. Astronomy. "Galaxies recede from an observer at
a rate proportional to their distance to the observer."
7. 1571-1630. Laws of planetary motion in astronomy. These laws
describe the motion of planets around the Sun.
8. 1789-1854. Law of electricity in physics. "The ratio of the
potential difference between the ends of a conductor to the
current flowing through it is a constant."
9. 1929-present. Observation in computing. "The complexity
of integrated circuits doubles every 24 months." He's also a
co-founder of the chip maker Intel.
10. 1766-1834. Economics. Law or model describing exponential
growth of a population.

These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2015-06-22,
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 Five Guys Named Moe, and

Sure you can visit great sculptures in museums and art galleries
and pay top dollar, but you can also see many outside, gratis.
10 questions on famous outdoor sculptures. The pictures:
http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/9-4/out.pdf
are not to the same scale.
I've rearranged the round in picture-number order. There are two
decoys; for those, identify either the sculpture or the location
if you like for fun, but for no points.
1. There are multiple versions of this sculpture by Louise
Bourgeois, including this one outside the National Art Gallery
in Ottawa. Name the sculpture.
2. No clues, just name this iconic sculpture. Giggling encouraged.
3. Name the American artist who is famous for his balloon animal
sculptures.
4. Officially this Anish Kapoor sculpture is called "Cloud Gate",
but residents of Chicago and visitors to Millennium Park rarely
refer to it as such. What is this sculpture's nickname?
5. Name this Alexander Calder statue, which can be found on
Île Ste. Hélène in Montreal.
6. You've seen (and probably climbed on) this Henry Moore work
outside Toronto City Hall. Name the sculpture.
7. This bronze statue, located in Copenhagen, stands 1.25 m tall.
Name the statue, which is based on a fairy tale by Hans
Christian Anderson.
8. This bronze gilded statue is said to be the fourth most
recognizable statue in the US (after the Lincoln Memorial,
Mt. Rushmore, and the Statue of Liberty). However,
the artist, Paul Manship, is said to not be fond of it.
Who does it *depict*?
9. Known officially as "Nonviolence", this statue is often referred
to as the "Knotted Gun". This version, found in New York City,
was created as a memorial for a famous victim of gun violence
in 1980. Name the New Yorker who is so honored.
10. (decoy)
11. This bronze statue called "Bird Girl", which stands only 50
inches tall, resides in a cemetery in Savannah, Georgia.
It became famous as the cover for a 1993 true-crime book.
Name the *book*.
12. (decoy)
* Game 9, Round 6 - Canadiana - Burgers and Burger Joints in Toronto
*WARNING:* Do not play this round on an empty stomach!
1. Name the classic cheeseburger joint that serves "the Red Sea",
a cheeseburger with chili on top. Its first location was on
Queen East.
2. Name the burger joint which has a wall of fame for patrons who
can consume their signature burger (a double cheeseburger
with bacon and caramelized onions) and a speciality milkshake
in 6 minutes. Its first location opened in 2011 on Yonge just
south of St. Clair.
3. Name the Toronto-based burger joint that now has locations in
New York City, Denver, and the Middle East. Its signature burger
has horseradish mayo, caramelized onions and smoked cheddar.
Its flagship location on King West near Portland celebrated its
reopening in February 2015 by offering free food in exchange
for charitable donations.
4. Name the family burger joint which opened its second location in
Toronto last year. It also has a reality show with the same
name. Apparently its BBQ Bacon Burger is Donnie's favorite.
5. Name the burger joint at Broadview and Queen famous for its
massive burgers. Its "Big Kevorkian" burger has fried onion,
fried mushrooms, two slices of bacon, a deep fried pickle,
garlic dressing, and mayo.
6. Name the *burger* that made a number of people sick at the
CNE in 2013. Public officials eventually determined that the
staphylococcus toxin was in the dollop of maple bacon jam and
not the burger itself or its title component.
7. Name the burger chain from the American Southwest that opened
a pop-up shop in Toronto in 2014. The burger chain, known for
its quality and use of fresh ingredients, attracted hundreds
of Toronto foodies to Ganzi Osteria, which hosted the pop-up
location.
8. Name the Danforth diner that has been around since the 1960s
and offers charcoal-broiled hamburgers as its signature menu
item, even though BlogTO has rated its chicken souvlaki as the
third-best in Toronto.
9. Name the local diner chain that offers patrons a choice between
brisket, chuck, and sirloin patties. Signature burgers include
the Riverside, crowned with bacon, mozzarella, and a massive
onion ring; and the Ossington, a mushroom melt.
10. Name the Kensington Market burger joint that offers the Big
Bang, an all-beef patty with spicy Buffalo chicken strips.
