These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2003-01-27,
and should be interpreted accordingly. All questions were written
by members of the Usual Suspects, 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 2020-06-23
companion posting on "Reposted Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (RQFTCI*)".
I wrote one of these rounds and half of the other.
** Game 2, Round 9 - Science - The Coherence of Metric Measure
In both the SI and the CGS versions of the metric system, many of
the units of measure can be expressed in terms of the multiplication
or division of other units of measure, with no numerical constants
other than 1 involved. In each case, name the unit being expressed.
None of the answers will involve scaling prefixes such as kilo-
or micro-. Some answers may be mentioned in subsequent questions
without being edited out.
1. This unit measures the force needed to accelerate a 1 kilogram
mass to a speed of 1 meter per second in 1 second. That is,
1 kilogram meter per second squared equals 1 of what unit?
2. Similarly in CGS metric, 1 gram centimeter per second squared
equals 1 of what force unit?
3. A force of 1 <answer 2> exerted over a distance of 1 centimeter
consumes how much energy, or equivalently, does how much work?
That is, 1 <answer 2> times 1 centimeter, or simply 1 <answer 2>
centimeter, equals 1 of what energy unit?
4. And correspondingly in SI, 1 <answer 1> meter equals 1 of what
energy unit?
5. This unit of power, or the rate of energy consumption, is equal to
1 joule divided by 1 second; that is, it's 1 joule per second.
6. And which two commonly used electrical units can be multiplied
together to produce 1 <answer 5>? Name *both*.
7. If you *divide* the same two units, the right way around, the
result equals 1 of which resistance unit?
8. The amount of charge delivered by a 1 ampere current flowing for
1 second, or in other words 1 ampere times 1 second, equals 1 of
what charge unit?
9. <answer 8> divided by 1 volt equals 1 of which unit of capacitance?
10. Finally, this frequency unit is simply the reciprocal of 1 second.
** Game 2, Round 10 - Challenge Round
* A. Formerly Undivided Countries
A1. Within 1 year, when did Slovakia separate from the Czech
Republic?
A2. In 1905, Norway held a referendum on the question of
separating from Sweden. It passed. Within 5 percentage
points, how many percent voted yes?
* B. Subway Stations by Location
B1. What station on the Yonge-University-Spadina Line """has""" its
only entrance on Crescent Rd.?
B2. What station on the Yonge-University-Spadina Line """has""" its
only entrance on Shaftesbury Av.?
* C. Corporate Etymology
C1. This notorious corporate name is a German abbreviation for
a phrase meaning "dye consortium", or more precisely,
"community of interest of the dye industry".
C2. First a new technology was named with a 10-letter word
based on the Greek for "dry writing"; then this was reduced
to a 5-letter brand name; then in 1961 this brand name became
the new name of the company. What was that brand name?
* D. Operatic Terminology
D1. Which term is used for the text of an opera, both spoken
and sung words? Translated, it means "little book".
D2. What is the name for the simultaneous translation of an
opera's <answer D1> projected above the stage? We want the
trade name used by the Canadian Opera Company.
* E. NHL All-Star Game
These questions deal with individual player records up to and
including the 2002 NHL All-Star Game. (You may now give answers
correct up to and including the 2020 game.)
E1. Which goaltender has the record for most All-Star games
played?
E2. Name either of the two players tied for most career All-Star
game *assists*, with 13 each.
* F. Naval Battles
F1. What was Nelson's flagship at the Battle of Trafalgar?
F2. In May 1942 the Japanese launched a plan to invade what
was then Australian territory on the island of New Guinea,
and capture Port Moresby. Name the aircraft-carrier battle,
fought that month, which forced the invasion fleet to
turn back.

Avenue as I call, but none the tube lines have that name. You are talking
about a different city? :-)

Mark Brader:
QFTCI, even though only 6 people were playing. JOSHUA KREITZER
AND DAN TILQUE (listed in random order) have *tied* for the win --
1 point ahead of third-place Dan Blum!
That's if there are no errors, of course; please check carefully
to see if I've gotten it wrong.

last season I posted. 4 for everyone.

99.9501% (accepting 94.95% to, ah, 104.9501%; to be exact, the vote
was 368,208-184). 4 for Erland. I was rather delighted to see that
one entrant tried 94% and was too low.

was required). 4 for Pete.

I just realized I posted the answers and game scores for Game 2, Rounds
9-10, without adding "answers" to the Subject line. If anybody who was
playing missed them, they should look back at my last posting in the
