These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2013-02-04,
and should be interpreted accordingly. All questions were written
by members of the Night Owls, 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 2022-09-09
companion posting on "Reposted Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (RQFTCI*)".


* Game 2, Round 7 - Literature - Who Made Them?

We give you three characters from the same literary work; you name
the author (*not* the title).

1. Tom Joad, Ma Joad, Jim Casy.
2. Ishmael, Captain Ahab, Queequeg.
3. Don Rodrigue, Don Diègue, Chimène.
4. Natty Bumppo, Chingachgook, Uncas.
5. Dr. Aziz, Adela Quested, Cecil Fielding.
6. Edmond Dantès, Mercédès, Monsieur Danglars.
7. Robert Cohn, Lady Brett Ashley, Jake Barnes.
8. Hepzibah Pyncheon, Thomas Maule, Mr. Holgrave.
9. Hans Castorp, Ludovico Settembrini, Clavdia Chauchat.
10. Michael Henchard, Donald Farfrae, Elizabeth-Jane Newson.


* Game 2, Round 8 - Entertainment - Bass Guitarists

Bass guitarists and drummers are the unsung heroes of a band.
There is no such thing as a great-sounding band without a great
rhythm section carrying them through. So here are the names of 10
music groups, and your task is to name the awesome bass guitarists
who thumped their sound into music history.

1. The Rolling Stones. (Note: These questions are about band
members during the years that made them famous. Here, for
example, we are looking here for the bass guitarist who has
left the group but was their bass player for the first 30 years
or so.)

2. U2.
3. Yes.
4. Rush.
5. Cream.
6. The Who.
7. Pink Floyd.
8. The Beatles.
9. Led Zeppelin.
10. Red Hot Chili Peppers.
