These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2019-07-08,
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 Unnatural Axxxe 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 2019-01-22 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".
* Game 7, Round 2 - Science - Green Porn
Birds do it, bees do it, even spiny monotremes do it. Let's do it.
Let's have a trivia round on the reproduction of plants and animals.
1. By what means do mushrooms reproduce?
2. By what extraterrestrially influenced process do the eggs and
sperm of coral meet?
3. What is unusual about how the seahorse gives birth?
4. Name either of the mammals that are monotremes -- i.e. they
lay eggs.
5. Many species of sharks and fish, including the common guppy,
platys and swordtails, are ovoviviparous. What does this mean?
6. A male donkey and a female horse produce what offspring?
7. When a butterfly drinks from a flower, it brushes against the
anthers and gets covered with pollen. When the butterfly visits
another flower, the pollen attaches to *what organ*, resulting
in pollination. Be fully specific. Hint: Despite the name,
no trauma usually results.
8. The male reproductive organ of a flowering plant is called what?
9. Where are a slug's reproductive organs?
10. An earthworm needs another earthworm to reproduce despite that
fact that it already has what?
* Game 7, Round 3 - Art - Art School of Fish
In this handout modified from a drawing by John Atkinson:
http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/7-3/fish.jpg
you will have an immersion into the world of great art.
(Yes, this is the same handout that was used for a round on
2018-07-23 and posted here under the tag QFTCIWSS on 2018-11-19.
In the actual game Unnatural Axxxe used letters where What She
Said had used numbers, but it was easier for me to actually reuse
the same JPG and edit the round.)
For questions #1-5, name the artist in whose style the applicable
fish is drawn:
1. Fish #2.
2. Fish #15.
3. Fish #11.
4. Fish #5.
5. Fish #7.
And after you've finished with those, please decode the rot13 for
questions #6-10, and give us the fish number for these artists:
6. Xnaqvafxl.
7. Qhpunzc.
8. Puntnyy.
9. Zngvffr.
10. Zveó (Zveb jvgu na nphgr npprag ba gur B).
Finally, if you like, decode the following rot13 to see the 5 decoy
artists, and give their fish numbers for fun, but for no points.
11. Cbyybpx.
12. Unevat (alhx alhx).
13. Qnyv.
14. Ebguxb.
15. Xyrr.

This was the easiest round in the original game.
> 1. By what means do mushrooms reproduce?
Airborne spores. 4 for Bruce, Dan Blum, Erland, Joshua,
and Dan Tilque.

Tidal action. 4 for Dan Blum and Pete.
> 3. What is unusual about how the seahorse gives birth?
The male gives birth, having received eggs in its pouch from the
female. 4 for everyone -- Bruce, Dan Blum, Pete, Erland, Joshua,
Dan Tilque, and Calvin.
> 4. Name either of the mammals that are monotremes -- i.e. they

Echidna, platypus. 4 for Bruce, Dan Blum, Pete, Joshua, Dan Tilque,
and Calvin.
> 5. Many species of sharks and fish, including the common guppy,
> platys and swordtails, are ovoviviparous. What does this mean?
They produce eggs which then hatch within their bodies just before
birth. 4 for Bruce.
In the original game the expected answer was "they live-birth their
young", but *viviparous* is the word for that.
> 6. A male donkey and a female horse produce what offspring?
Mules. 4 for Bruce, Dan Blum, Pete, Erland, and Dan Tilque.
3 for Joshua. 2 for Calvin.
A "hinny" is the product of a male horse and female donkey. "Ass"
is another word for donkey.

Stigma. (It's part of the pistil, which would also fit the hint,
but on protest in the original game it was ruled that pistil was
not specific enough.) 4 for Calvin.
> 8. The male reproductive organ of a flowering plant is called what?
Stamen. 4 for Bruce, Dan Blum, Joshua, and Calvin. 3 for Pete
and Erland.
> 9. Where are a slug's reproductive organs?
Just behind its head. Any reference to the head or part of the head
was sufficient. 4 for Bruce.
> 10. An earthworm needs another earthworm to reproduce despite that
> fact that it already has what?
Both male and female sex organs, i.e. it's a hermaphrodite.
4 for Bruce, Dan Blum, Pete, Joshua, Dan Tilque, and Calvin.

In the original game in 2018, this was one of two rounds tied for
easiest in the game and 4th-easiest in the entire season. In 2019
it wasn't even the easiest in the game, though it was a close second
behind Round 2. Of course, the specific choices of questions were
different.

tides happen twice a day. Coral eggs and sperm meet because they are
released at the same time, once a year, based on the full moon and water
temperature.
So I think "full moon" is a better answer. If you need a cite:
"Full moon – the timing of mass coral spawning is linked to the lunar
cycle, happening after the full moon and when water temperatures rise
sufficiently to stimulate the process"
