These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2015-05-04,
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 Five Guys Named Moe, 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 3, Round 4 - Entertainment - Lost in Translation
When English-language movies are shown abroad, the translations of
their titles are sometimes bizarre. In this round, we'll translate
the foreign-language title back into English and give you some
more information. You give us the English-language title we're
familiar with.
1. In China, this 1997 feature starring Robert Carlyle and Tom
Wilkinson was called "Six Naked Pigs".
2. Also in China, Mark Wahlberg, Julianne Moore, and Heather Graham
starred in a 1997 film called "His Great Device Makes Him Famous".
3. In Italy, a 2004 movie starring Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet
was titled "If You Leave Me, I Delete You".
4. In Hong Kong, audiences got to watch Jason Biggs, Chris Klein,
and Eugene Levy in the 1999 feature "American Virgin Man".
5. In the Czech Republic, Billy Bob Thornton and Bernie Mac starred
in a 2003 feature titled "Santa is a Pervert".
6. In France, a 2009 movie starring Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms,
and Zach Galifianakis was titled "Very Bad Trip".
7. Chinese audiences watched Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton in
"Run! Run! Cloudzilla!" In 1996.
8. In Portugal, a 2013 film starring Bradley Cooper, Amy Adams,
and Jennifer Lawrence was known as "American Sting".
9. Frances McDormand and William H. Macy were on Chinese movie
screens in 1996 in "Mysterious Death in Snowy Cream".
10. In Sweden, a 1996 feature starring Vince Vaughn and Jon Favreau
was known as "Hey, Where are the Babies?"
* Game 3, Round 6 - Geography - US State Flags
Please see the handout at
http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/3-6/flags.jpg
and give the corresponding flag number for each state:
1. South Carolina.
2. Maryland.
3. New Mexico.
4. Missouri.
5. Tennessee.
6. Connecticut.
7. Ohio.
8. Alaska.
9. Hawaii.
10. Arizona.
So there were 8 decoys. If you like, for fun but for no points,
