These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2015-11-09,
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 Bloor St. Irregulars,
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 2015-08-18 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".
* Game 007, Round 007 - Science - Bonds, Chemical Bonds
1. There are two major types of chemical bonds. In an ionic bond,
one atom gives up an electron to another, charging both atoms;
in the other, the two atoms share pairs of outer-shell electrons.
Name that latter kind of bond.
2. *Which theory*, which commonly goes by a 5-letter acronym,
predicts the shape of molecules based on the fact that they
arrange themselves to minimize the repulsion of valence electron
pairs? Fittingly, the acronym is pronounced like the first
name of a Bond girl.
3. <Answer 2> theory predicts that a molecule whose central atom has
4 bonding pairs of electrons and no lone pairs, such as methane,
will assume this geometry with bond angles of 109.5°. Give this
word that also describes a solid with four faces.
4. On the other hand, <answer 2> theory predicts that a molecule
with 4 bonding pairs and 2 lone pairs will assume the flat
square planar geometry. What is the bond angle in a square
planar molecule?
5. A hydrocarbon in which all the carbon-carbon bonds are single
bonds is called an alkane. What similar name is given to any
hydrocarbon with at least one carbon-carbon *triple* bond?
*Warning*: Be careful with your pronunciation.
6. Plese complete the previous question before decoding the rot13
for #6-7. Guvf zbyrphyr, jvgu purzvpny sbezhyn P2U2, vf gur

8. Although the noble gases do not normally form bonds, scientists
have observed compounds between xenon and this most
electronegative element on the periodic table. Name this element
that is often added to water supplies to fight tooth decay.
*Warning*: We are looking for an *element* in this question,
not an ion.
9. A peptide bond is a covalent bond that forms between the
amine and carboxyl groups of two of these molecules. Name these
molecules, 9 of which cannot be produced naturally by the human
body and are called the "essential" ones.
10. The amino acid cystine ("siss-teen") comprises two molecules
of cysteine ("siss-tee-een") linked by a bond between two atoms
of this element. Name this smelly element, with atomic number
16, that cysteine contains in its thiol side chain.
* Game 007, Round 8 - Literature - Famous Jameses in Literature
Answer the following questions about authors and literary characters
with the name James.
1. This literary James authored the essay collection "Notes of a
Native Son" as well as a novel about the preacher's son John
Grimes, "Go Tell It on the Mountain". Name the author.
2. In episode 14 of James Joyce's "Ulysses", Leopold Bloom first
meets the character Stephen Dedalus. Dedalus himself is the
protagonist of what other James Joyce novel?
3. James Mercer are the first two names of this poet, who described
a 1-page assignment in his "Theme For English B". Name this
Harlem Renaissance poet, who also described a man whose "soul has
grown deep like the rivers" in his "The Negro Speaks Of Rivers".
4. James and Amy are American sibling poets with this surname.
Robert, another sibling with this surname, wrote about a creature
with her head in a jar of sour cream in "Skunk Hor" and a Civil
War memorial in "For The Union Dead". Give the common surname.
5. James Trotter is the protagonist of a 1961 children's novel
who famously takes a ride with a centipede, a silkworm, and
other insects in a humongous -- one of what type of thing?
6. Jim Hawkins is the protagonist of what 1881 Robert Louis
Stevenson novel where he teams up with Long John Silver and a
bunch of pirates to travel to the title location?
7. James Ngugi is the birth name of Ngugi wa Thiong'o, an author
from this country who wrote the novels "Petals of Blood" and "A
Grain of Wheat". His Gikuyu-language play "I Will Marry When I
Want" led to an arrest order from then-president Daniel Arap Moi.
Name the country.
8. James Maxwell Anderson, commonly known just as Maxwell Anderson,
may be best known for this play about Congressman Alan Mclean.
The play takes its *3-word title* from a line in "Romeo and
Juliet" where Mercutio wishes for "a plague on"... what?
9. In this 1956 play, James Tyrone and his son Jamie are members
of the central family that also includes his morphine-addicted
wife Mary. Name this play by Eugene O'Neill.
10. In this 1984 play, James Lingk is the gullible victim of
superstar real-estate salesman Ricky Roma, while George Aaronow
intimidates Dave Ross to steal the title leads from Williamson's
office. Name this play by David Mamet.
