These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2003-04-07,
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*)".
These will be the last two rounds of this game.
Round 8 is have the dreaded Canadiana round, and I did not write
any of it. In Round 9, I wrote two or three triples.
** Final, Round 8 - Canadiana
* Canadian Forces Bases
These questions pertain to Canada's army, navy, and air force bases.
1. Canada """has""" two naval bases, sometimes referred to as
MARPAC and MARLANT. Give the name of the community in which
either """is""" located.
2. In which province """is""" CFB Gagetown located?
3. There """is""" one base in Saskatchewan, for an air force wing
designated 15 Wing. Where is it located?
* CFL Records
4. This quarterback, entering his 18th season """this year""",
"""holds""" lifetime records for most regular season pass
attempts, pass completions, yardage, and quarterback rushing.
Who? *Note*: If you answer for 2021, you must name the person
who holds 3 of those 4 records.
5. Which Toronto Argonaut set the record for the most kickoff
return yards (183) in a Grey Cup game, in 1991?
6. During his 25-year career, this B.C. Lion played in a record
408 regular season games.
* Classic Kids' TV
7. Which outdoor adventure series co-starred Gordon Pinsent as
RCMP Sergeant Brian Scott?
8. "Butternut Square", which aired on CBC 1964-67, was the precursor
to what long-running Canadian show?
9. The best-known personality on "Razzle Dazzle" was a turtle
puppet that sat on a pedestal. What was the turtle's name?
* Saskatchewan and Public Health Care
10. In 1929, Saskatchewan was the first province to universally
diagnose and treat *what disease* at no charge to the individual?
11. Emmett Hall was named chair of Canada's Royal Commission on
Health Services in 1961. What was Hall's job title at the time
of his appointment? Be specific.
12. On the day that Saskatchewan's province-wide medicare plan was
launched, about 90% of its doctors walked off the job.
The strike lasted 23 days. Give the year of the strike, within
3 years.
* People with "Canada" in their Nicknames
13. Who was known as "the Voice of Canada", and also, in darker

of him. Who was he?
15. Who acquired the nickname "Captain Canada" after he stared down
a usually friendly European country in a well-publicized dispute?
** Final, Round 9 - Science
* Kinematics
1. What is the term for a force applied to an object in such a
manner that it moves in a circle? (For example, the Sun's
gravity as applied to the Earth.)
2. Several objects are sliding toward each other on a frictionless
surface; you know all the masses and velocities. They collide
and stick together in a single lump. You can calculate the
resulting velocity of this lump by using the fact that what
quantity is always conserved?
3. (Please decipher the rot13 only after you are finished with #2.)
Jung vf gur grez sbe n pbyyvfvba jurer xvargvp raretl vf

* Calculus
Please refer to the handout sheet, and relax, you aren't going to be
asked to evaluate any of the expressions:
http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/of/9/b.pdf
4. Which expression contains an indefinite integral?
5. Which expression contains a second derivative?
6. Which expression contains a partial derivative?
* Geology
7. There are three major types of volcanoes: cinder cones,
composite, and which other? All the islands of Hawaii are
formed from this type of volcano, which is created from large
runny lava flows that create a domed mountain.
8. There are two types of crust, oceanic and continental.
Continental crust is composed mostly of granite, while oceanic
crust is composed mostly of what rock?
9. What is the name of the """largest known""" volcano in the
solar system? It's extinct, and it's on Mars.
* Recyclable Plastics
Recyclable plastics are commonly numbered 1 through 6 for sorting
purposes. #7 (called "Other") you might as well plant flowers in.
10. Plastic #3 is commonly used for plastic pipes, outdoor
furniture, shrink wrap, water bottles, etc. By what name is
it better known? The common abbreviation is acceptable.
11. Plastic #6 is used to manufacture CD jewel cases, plastic
cutlery, insulation, and packaging materials, among other things.
Name it. This time we want the full name, not an abbreviation,
and if you feel impelled to answer with a well-known trademark
of Dow Chemical, please resist this because we won't accept it.
12. Plastics #2 and #4 are abbreviated HDPE and LDPE respectively.
Give the full name of either.
* Legumes
Please refer to:

(At the original game, actual legumes were passed out. I don't have
a list of what the decoy ones were, so I've assembled this image by
selecting the three desired images and 12 others picked arbitrarily,
all from a commercial site, <http://www.purcellmountainfarms.com>.)
13. Identify the adzuki beans.
14. Identify the cow beans.
15. Identify the pigeon peas.
If you'd like to try the decoys for fun but for no points, please
decode the rot13. If not, you're done with this set.

Mark Brader:
congratulations! I will now proceed immediately to reposted
questions from the previous season that was written by the Usual
Suspects, originally played in January-April 1998.

> any of it. In Round 9, I wrote two or three triples.
Those were questions #1-6 and maybe #7-9.
> ** Final, Round 8 - Canadiana
> * Canadian Forces Bases
> These questions pertain to Canada's army, navy, and air force bases.
> 1. Canada """has""" two naval bases, sometimes referred to as

Esquimalt, BC; Halifax, NS. (Still true.) Esquimalt is a suburb
of Victoria, so Victoria scored as almost correct. 4 for Dan Tilque
(the hard way). 3 for Dan Blum and Joshua. 2 for Pete.
> 2. In which province """is""" CFB Gagetown located?
New Brunswick. (Still true.) 4 for Dan Tilque. 2 for Pete.
> 3. There """is""" one base in Saskatchewan, for an air force wing
> designated 15 Wing. Where is it located?
Moose Jaw. (Still true.)

> """holds""" lifetime records for most regular season pass
> attempts, pass completions, yardage, and quarterback rushing.
> Who? *Note*: If you answer for 2021, you must name the person

2003 answer: Damon Allen (he retired in 2008). 2021 answer:
Anthony Calvillo (who played 1994-2013; Tracy Ham holds the QB
rushing record.)
> 5. Which Toronto Argonaut set the record for the most kickoff
> return yards (183) in a Grey Cup game, in 1991?
2003 answer: Raghib "Rocket" Ismail. 2021 answer: Larry Taylor
(Calgary Stampeders), with 208 yards in 2012. At least, that was
still the record as of 2016, but I don't have more recent information;
I'll accept him, anyway.
> 6. During his 25-year career, this B.C. Lion played in a record
> 408 regular season games.
Lui Passaglia. (He played 1976-2000, and his 408 is still the
record.)
> * Classic Kids' TV
> 7. Which outdoor adventure series co-starred Gordon Pinsent as
> RCMP Sergeant Brian Scott?
"Forest Rangers" (1963-66).
> 8. "Butternut Square", which aired on CBC 1964-67, was the precursor

"Mr. Dressup" (1967-96).
> 9. The best-known personality on "Razzle Dazzle" was a turtle
> puppet that sat on a pedestal. What was the turtle's name?
Howard. (The show ran 1961-66.)
> * Saskatchewan and Public Health Care
> 10. In 1929, Saskatchewan was the first province to universally
> diagnose and treat *what disease* at no charge to the individual?
Tuberculosis. 3 for Dan Blum and Pete.
> 11. Emmett Hall was named chair of Canada's Royal Commission on

Chief Justice of Saskatchewan.

> The strike lasted 23 days. Give the year of the strike, within
> 3 years.
1962 (accepting 1959-65). 3 for Pete. 2 for Dan Blum.
> * People with "Canada" in their Nicknames
> 13. Who was known as "the Voice of Canada", and also, in darker

Lorne Greene. 4 for Joshua.
> 14. This person was called "Mr. Broadcasting" by some; after his

Peter Gzowski ["ZOF-skee"].
Incidentally, he is also the only person ever to use my name as an
adjective in print.
> 15. Who acquired the nickname "Captain Canada" after he stared down
> a usually friendly European country in a well-publicized dispute?
Brian Tobin.
He was fisheries minister at the time, and it was a fishing dispute
with Spain. He later switched to provincial politics and was premier
of Newfoundland for almost 5 years.

> * Kinematics
> 1. What is the term for a force applied to an object in such a

> surface; you know all the masses and velocities. They collide
> and stick together in a single lump. You can calculate the

Momentum (not energy or kinetic energy). Since I asked what quantity
and not what it's called, "mass times velocity" is also acceptable.
4 for Erland, Dan Blum, and Dan Tilque.
> 3. (Please decipher the rot13 only after you are finished with #2.)

Elastic. 4 for Erland, Dan Blum, and Dan Tilque.

Although, if you had been asked, #13 would've been pretty easy --
according to Euler's identity, it's equal to 0.
> 4. Which expression contains an indefinite integral?
#8. (The one where the integral sign does not have limits written
above and below.) 4 for Erland and Dan Blum.
> 5. Which expression contains a second derivative?
#2. (The one with d²(...)/dx².) 4 for Erland and Dan Tilque.
> 6. Which expression contains a partial derivative?
#1. (The one with the "curly d" sign.) 4 for Dan Tilque.
> * Geology

Shield volcano. "Lava dome" is wrong; it's a smaller formation that
might exist as part of a volcano. 4 for Dan Blum.
> 8. There are two types of crust, oceanic and continental.
> Continental crust is composed mostly of granite, while oceanic
> crust is composed mostly of what rock?
Basalt. 4 for Dan Blum and Dan Tilque.
> 9. What is the name of the """largest known""" volcano in the

Olympus Mons (or Nix Olympica, the old name). (Still true.)
4 for Dan Blum, Pete, Dan Tilque, and Joshua.

Polystyrene (not "Styrofoam", Dow's trademark for extruded foam
polystyrene). 4 for Dan Blum, Pete, and Dan Tilque.
