These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2016-11-28,
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 Misplaced Modifiers
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 2016-11-26 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".

This was the easiest round in the original game, and the 4th-easiest
of the entire season.

"Ten Days that Shook the World". 4 for Joshua and Dan Tilque.
> 2. Widely considered to be Agatha Christie's most gripping novel,

"And Then There Were None", "Ten Little Indians". 4 for Peter,
Dan Blum, Bruce, Marc, Joshua, Calvin, Dan Tilque, Jason, and Pete.
Whoever wrote this question for the original name was under the
impression that "Ten Little Indians" was the UK title while "And
Then There Were None" was the US title. I figured that the above
was the best way to correct it.
"Ten Little Indians" *was* the title of the original American song
(by Septimus Winner, who also wrote "Where Oh Where Has My Little
Dog Gone?") -- although the word actually used within the rhyme was
"Injuns". It was rewritten, with many changes, for the British music
halls by Frank Green as "Ten Little Niggers" and Christie based her
novel on that version.
Since the story depended on the details of Green's version, the US
publishers did not revert to Winner's version of the rhyme, but
simply changed the word "nigger" and any variations to "Indian"
not only in Green's rhyme but throughout the book. (For example,
the island where the story is set became Indian Island, and resembled
the profile of "an American Indian" rather than "a Negroid".)
Movie and stage versions have been produced in various languages under
all three of the above titles or their translations as applicable,
and the novel was also published at least once as "The Nursery
Rhyme Murders".
> 3. The first film version of "The Ten Commandments" was a 1923
> silent. Name the director.
Cecil B. DeMille. (He remade his own movie in 1956.) 4 for Dan Blum,
Marc, Joshua, Dan Tilque, Jason, and Pete.
> 4. In which book of the Bible are the Ten Commandments recorded?
There are actually two versions. The one usually quoted is in
Exodus, chapter 20, but there's another, slightly different# one in
Deuteronomy, chapter 5. Either book was acceptable. 4 for Peter,
Dan Blum, Bruce, Eerland, Joshua, Dan Tilque, Jason, and Pete.
#-For example, in the King James Version, Exodus 20:8 has "Remember
the sabbath day, to keep it holy" while Deuteronomy 5:12 makes it
"Keep the sabbath day to sanctify it, as the Lord thy God hath
commanded thee."
Incidentally, both versions are about 16 verses long, but still
another passage of the Bible (Deuteronomy 4:13) that says that the
list includes 10 commandments. Consequently people had to decide
which verses started a new commandment and, I understand, three
different choices have been made -- one each used today by Jews,
by most Protestants, and by Lutherans and Catholics.

Whoever wrote this question for the original name was under the
impression that "Ten Little Indians" was the UK title while "And
Then There Were None" was the US title. I figured that the above
was the best way to correct it.
"Ten Little Indians" *was* the title of the original American song
(by Septimus Winner, who also wrote "Where Oh Where Has My Little
Dog Gone?") -- although the word actually used within the rhyme was
"Injuns". It was rewritten, with many changes, for the British music
halls by Frank Green as "Ten Little Niggers" and Christie based her
novel on that version.
Since the story depended on the details of Green's version, the US
publishers did not revert to Winner's version of the rhyme, but
simply changed the word "nigger" and any variations to "Indian"
not only in Green's rhyme but throughout the book. (For example,
the island where the story is set became Indian Island, and resembled
the profile of "an American Indian" rather than "a Negroid".)
Movie and stage versions have been produced in various languages under
all three of the above titles or their translations as applicable,
and the novel was also published at least once as "The Nursery
Rhyme Murders".

> 4. In which book of the Bible are the Ten Commandments recorded?
Exodus, chapter 20, but there's another, slightly different# one in
Deuteronomy, chapter 5. Either book was acceptable. 4 for Peter,
Dan Blum, Bruce, Eerland, Joshua, Dan Tilque, Jason, and Pete.
#-For example, in the King James Version, Exodus 20:8 has "Remember
the sabbath day, to keep it holy" while Deuteronomy 5:12 makes it
"Keep the sabbath day to sanctify it, as the Lord thy God hath
commanded thee."
Incidentally, both versions are about 16 verses long, but still
another passage of the Bible (Deuteronomy 4:13) that says that the
list includes 10 commandments. Consequently people had to decide
which verses started a new commandment and, I understand, three
different choices have been made -- one each used today by Jews,
by most Protestants, and by Lutherans and Catholics.
