These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2018-06-11,
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 4 days.
All questions were written by members of What She Said 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 2018-07-16 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".
** Game 5, Round 9 - Sports - The NBA Draft
The annual NBA Draft takes place this week.
1. How many rounds are there currently in the NBA Draft?
2. Within 3 years, in what year was the first NBA Draft?
3. The Toronto Raptors drafted DeMar DeRozan 9th overall in the
first round -- in what year?
4. DeMar's fellow Raptor Kyle Lowry was drafted in 2006 by the
Houston Rockets. The Toronto Raptors had the #1 overall pick
that year, the only time in the team's history that they did.
Who did they draft with it?.
5. Michael Jordan, arguably the greatest basketball player of all
time, was not drafted first overall in 1984; that honor went
instead to this fellow Hall of Fame player, known for his
spinning-fakeout post attack named the "Dream Shake". Name him.
6. The 1984 draft is widely considered to be one of the best
drafts in NBA history; in addition to Jordan and <answer 6>,
it also produced two more Hall of Fame players, both of whom
were members of the 1992 Olympic "Dream Team". Name either one.
7. Steve Francis, after being drafted in 1999, publicly refused to
play for the team that drafted him, claiming it was "God's will"
that he not play for them. What team was that? You must give
the city name where they were playing *then* -- they would move
less than 5 years later.
8. This player, drafted with the 60th and final pick of his draft,
is the lowest-drafted player ever to be named to both the
All-Star and All-NBA teams. At 5'9", he is also the shortest
player to ever make an All-NBA team. Who?
9. LeBron James was drafted first overall in the same year that
teams drafted Dwyane Wade, Carmelo Anthony, Chris Bosh, David
West, Chris Kaman, Josh Howard, Mo Williams, and Kyle Korver
-- all of whom have been All-Stars. In what year was this
remarkably talented draft?
10. The Toronto Raptors did not actually draft Vince Carter.
Instead, in 1998, they drafted Antawn Jamison with the fourth
pick -- and then immediately traded Jamison to the Pacific
Division team that had drafted Carter with the fifth pick.
Name that team.
** Game 5, Round 10 - Challenge Round - Who's Your Daddy?
In honor of Father's Day...
* A. Political Fathers and Daughters
A1. France's Jean-Marie Le Pen founded a far-right political
party in 1972 which is currently led by his daughter Marine.
They recently voted to change the party's name. What is
the original name of this party?
A2. This Canadian politician was the first Roman Catholic
mayor of Hamilton, and sparked outrage among the city's
Protestants when he abolished the annual Orange Parade.
His daughter entered federal politics, and in 1987 became the
first person to give birth while in office as a Canadian MP.
What is this family's name?
* B. Musical Fathers and Daughters
B1. He was a founding member of a successful funk and soul
band in the late 70s and early 80s before moving on to
an even more successful solo career. His daughter became
famous for starring in an early 2000s reality show with a
"simple" premise. What is their surname?
B2. The father of singer-songwriter Norah Jones was a composer
and renowned sitar player, whose associations with Western
rock stars helped popularize classical Hindustani music.
He died in 2012. Name him.
* C. Athletic Families
C1. Although the father never made it to the Hall of Fame, he
was a three-time All-Star in 17 seasons as a player, and
as a manager he won National League Manager of the Year
with both the Montreal Expos and San Francisco Giants.
Three of his sons went on to impressive baseball careers
of their own. Name the family.
C2. The need for speed is deeply ingrained in this family.
The father was the only driver to win races in Formula 1,
IndyCar, World Sportscar Championship, and NASCAR among
others. His two sons followed in his footsteps, as did
the sons of his twin brother. Currently his grandson
is the family's third generation of IndyCar drivers.
Name the family.
* D. Fathers of Science
D1. This French physicist and mathematician is considered the
"father of classical electromagnetism", which he referred
to as electrodynamics. The SI unit of electric current is
named after him, and his is one of 72 names inscribed in
the Eiffel Tower. Name him.
D2. This engineer, professor, physicist, and inventor, who died
in 1945, is considered the American "father of rocketry",
having created the world's first liquid-fueled rocket.
In 1920 a New York Times editorial derided him for believing
that a rocket could function in a vacuum, but they did print
a correction -- after the launch of Apollo 11 in 1969.
NASA's Space Flight Center is named after him. What was
his name?
* E. Literary Dynasties
E1. This prolific family has been producing writers for
four generations. The patriarch, Arthur, became a highly
influential columnist, publisher and author, and wrote the
first biography of Alfred Lord Tennyson in 1892. His two
sons continued his legacy with bestsellers such as "Island In
The Sun", "A Handful of Dust", and "Brideshead Revisited".
In 2004 the great-grandson published a family autobigraphy,
"Fathers and Sons". Name the family.
E2. Horror master Stephen King's eldest son is a successful
author in his own right, publishing books such as "Horns",
"The Fireman", and the comic book series "Locke and Key".
Perhaps not wanting to ride on his father's coattails,
he publishes under what pen name?
* F. Fashionable Families
F1. In 1925, the patriarch of this successful fashion family
launched the line with his wife in Rome. Today, each of the
couple's five daughters heads up a division of the company:
eyewear, fragrances, leather goods, shoes, and furs. In this
century they have successfully sued a number of American
retailers -- sometimes for dollar amounts in 8 digits --
for selling knockoffs of their products, including their
iconic handbags. Name the family, which is also the name
of the fashion line.
F2. This, ah, *well-heeled* dynasty was founded when the
patriarch opened the Hollywood Boot Shop in 1923, cobbling
for movie stars. He later returned to his native Italy and
opened a shoe shop there. That shop is still a family-owned
company, whose owners include his widow, 5 children, and
23 grandchildren. In addition to shoes, they also make
eyewear, perfume, belts, scarves, bags, and watches.
Name the company.
