These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2013-10-21,
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 5, Round 9 - Miscellaneous - Famous People Name Fusion Fun!
These are famous people whose names are fused together in a
"before and after" construction. In each case the first person's
last name is the second person's first name. Given some clues
for each person, give the name fusion.
Example question: "You've Got Mail" actress; "American Idol" host.
Answer: Meg Ryan Seacrest.
*Full names are required in each case*, of course.
1. "Baywatch" actress; former CNN journalist.
2. "Unforgettable" singer; "Kiss Me Kate" Broadway composer and
songwriter.
3. NDP leader named "the Greatest Canadian"; Canadian "JPod" author.
4. One of the first people to climb Mt. Everest; former US
secretary of state.
5. "Polo" fashion designer; "To Have and Have Not" actress.
6. The UK's "The Naked Chef"; "JFK" director.
7. R&B "Hello" singer; Bon Jovi guitarist.
8. "Blowin' in the Wind"; "Do not go gently into that good night".
9. "Piano Man"; "Fargo" filmmaker.
10. "Lady Chatterley's Lover"; musical variety show host 1955-82.

F. C-3PO and R2-D2 (Entertainment)
A. Luke
Questions about the Gospel of Luke.
A1. In Matthew, the last words Jesus spoke on the cross were:
"My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" In John they
were: "It is finished." But what were they in Luke?
A2. Matthew says two women came to the sepulchre and found the
stone rolled away. Mark says there were three, and John
says there was only one. But how many women does Luke say
came to the sepulchre?
B. Solo
Questions about sports for individuals.
B1. This ancient Olympic sport was the "ultimate fighting" of its
time. The only rules were no biting or eye-gouging.
The name comes from the Greek words meaning "all" and
"strength/power". Name it.
B2. This is a form of downhill skiing using bindings where
the boot is attached only at the toe. Skiers assume a
lunge position in order to turn. Name it.
C. The Princess
Of Wales, that is. Only 10 women have held that title. Here are
two questions about a couple of the earlier ones.
C1. The third Princess of Wales became Dowager Princess when
her first husband, Arthur, died as prince. She remarried
Arthur's younger brother Henry in 1509 and became Queen
Consort. Who was she?
C2. Caroline of Brunswick was engaged to "the stupid Prince" in
1794, even though they had never met and he was already
married illegally to Maria Fitzherbert. They did marry
the following year, and she became Queen Consort when he
became... what king?
D. Chewie
D1. This is a type of confection made by stretching or pulling
a sticky mass of boiled sugar, fat, flavourings, and coloring
until it becomes aerated.
D2. From chew-chew we go to choo-choo. The first American-built
steam locomotive to operate on a common-carrier railroad
was a demonstrator designed to convince owners of the newly
formed Baltimore and Ohio Railroad to use steam engines.
It is especially remembered as a participant in an impromptu
race with a horse-drawn car. What was the name of this
locomotive?
E. Land-Ho
E1. The first of the journeys associated with the Age of
Exploration were conducted by the Portuguese under Prince
Henry the Navigator. What was the first Atlantic island
group discovered by the Portuguese, in 1419?
E2. On October 12, 1492, land was sighted by a sailor named
Rodrigo de Triana aboard the Pinta. Columbus named the
island San Salvador, though he noted that the indigenous
people already called it Guanahani. Exactly which island
this was is not known, but there are two groups in modern
nomenclature that it must have been among; name either group.
F. C-3PO and R2-D2
Yes, Star Wars.
F1. What type of droid is C-3PO?
F2. What type of droid is R2-D2? (Besides an "R2 droid".)

This was the easiest round in the original game, and the
second-easiest of the entire season.

I've been wondering what might have made the question's author

In the original game, this was the second-hardest round, after the
audio round. In the entire season, this game's audio round was the
third-hardest, and this round was tied for fourth-hardest with Game 2,
Round 7 (on the US Civil Rights Movement).

"Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit". (Luke 23:46, KJV.
Other translations were acceptable.) 4 for Joshua and Erland.
The passage Stephen quoted is from Luke 24 and comes after Jesus rises
from the dead.

More than 4. As Stephen said in a comment while giving the wrong
answer, Luke 25:10 names three of them and mentions "other women"
in the plural. Accepting any number greater than or equal to 5,
as that's close enough for God.

The Madeira Is. were the expected answer and were definitely
discovered by the Portuguese in 1419. But there are disputed claims
that they discovered both the Azores and the Canary Is. earlier;
I'm throwing up my hands and accepting all three answers. 4 for
Joshua (the hard way), Calvin (the hard way), Marc, Dan Tilque,
Stephen, Dan Blum, Peter, Erland, Rob, Pete, and Jeff (the hard way).

Astromech droid. I didn't know either. 4 for Stephen.

in the plural. Accepting any number greater than or equal to 5,
as that's close enough for God.
