These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2017-04-04,
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 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 10-12 days.
All questions were written by members of 5 Easy Pieces 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 2016-11-26 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".
** Final, Round 3 - Science
* Science of Cooking
1. Transparent ravioli and ice-sphere cocktails are two examples of
this new style of cooking that looks at the physical and chemical
changes of ingredients. What is this cooking style called?
2. Utilizing a coil that produces a high-frequency electromagnetic
field, which penetrates the cooking vessel and sets up a
circulating electric current, is known as what kind of cooking?
3. The so-called fifth taste, umami, involves the unlocking of an
element through aging, curing, or microbial fermentation.
People taste umami through taste receptors specific to which
compound?
* Psychotherapies
4. Which problem-focused and action-oriented therapeutic approach
concentrates on the development of personal coping strategies
and changing unhelpful cognition patterns, feelings, and actions?
5. Which practice employs positive and negative reinforcement
and/or punishment, as well as extinction techniques to change
undesirable habits?
6. Which clinically-proven technique was adapted from Buddhist
practices and includes meditation, body awareness, and yoga?
* Equations that Changed the World
In each case, name or otherwise explain the equation shown.
7. http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/GFR3/eqn1.png
8. http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/GFR3/eqn2.png
9. http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/GFR3/eqn3.png
* Chemistry of the Body
10. What is the name of the series of cellular chemical reactions
that take place in the mitochondria to change stored energy
into ATP?
11. What term is given to selectively permeable, voltage-gated
openings in cell membranes found in muscle and cardiac tissue
(among others)?
12. During catabolism, what type of molecules are broken down into
carbon dioxide, water, and ATP?
* Opioids
Three questions on everyone's favorite drug category (well, maybe
next-favorite after antibiotics).
13. Although most commonly prescribed to control pain, opioids are
also used to treat drug addiction and coughing, and to suppress
what other bodily function?
14. What drug is commonly used to treat opioid overdose and is
currently available without a prescription in Canada?
15. Within 3 years, what year was oxycodone (the opioid in OxyContin
and Percocet) developed in Germany to "replace addictive drugs"
such as heroin and cocaine?

Molecular gastronomy. 4 for Dan Blum, Joshua, Stephen, and Peter.

Glutamate (acceping glutamic acid). 4 for Joshua, Stephen,
Dan Tilque, and Marc.
> * Psychotherapies
> 4. Which problem-focused and action-oriented therapeutic approach

CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy). I accepted cognitive therapy.
4 for Erland, Dan Blum, Stephen, and Marc.
> 5. Which practice employs positive and negative reinforcement

BM (behavior modification). I also accepted operant conditioning.
4 for Dan Blum, Stephen, Dan Tilque, and Marc.

Mindfulness. 4 for Dan Blum, Stephen, and Marc.

I thought this equation as written was badly chosen for the question:
nothing here says that f is the derivative of F, which is what you
need to understand for it to really point to the correct answer.
In addition the "dx" is missing inside the integral. But I still
decided not to accept other answers.
> 9. http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/GFR3/eqn3.png
Any reference to a normal distribution was acceptable. 4 for Stephen
and Peter.
> * Chemistry of the Body
> 10. What is the name of the series of cellular chemical reactions

Citric-acid cycle or Krebs cycle. I also accepted chemiosmosis,
which if I understand correctly is another stage in the same process.
4 for Dan Blum, Stephen, Dan Tilque, and Marc.
> 11. What term is given to selectively permeable, voltage-gated

Calcium channels.

"Sugars" was the expected answer, but a range of other complex
molecules are also possible. I believe all answers given are correct,
so: 4 for Dan Blum, Stephen, Peter, Calvin, Dan Tilque, and Marc.
> * Opioids

Defecation. I accepted "diarrhea" (which nobody knew how to spell)
and "excretion". So, 4 for Dan Blum, Stephen, and Marc.
> 14. What drug is commonly used to treat opioid overdose and is
> currently available without a prescription in Canada?
Narcan (also accepting naloxone, Evzio). 4 for Stephen (the hard
way), Dan Tilque, and Marc.
> 15. Within 3 years, what year was oxycodone (the opioid in OxyContin

1916 (accepting 1913-19). Yeah, I thought 3 years' leeway was a
big tight there myself. 4 for Stephen.
