These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2016-10-31,
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 Misplaced Modifiers
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*)".
* Game 6, Round 7 - "Science" - Eastern Medicine and Massage
1. A fundamental principle of Oriental medicine is the existence of
a life-force or energy that circulates through the body.
By what name is this life-force known?
2. <answer 1> is believed to follow certain paths or passages
within the body. How are these energy paths known?
3. In this form of Japanese massage, pressure on points along the
meridians promotes movement, and prevents blockage, of <answer 1>
energy. Its name means literally "finger pressure". What is it?
4. Another method for promoting <answer 1> flow is applied heat,
created by burning a dried herb over the skin. Name the herb
or the treatment.
5. <answer 3> is largely based on an older tradition of Japanese
massage known as anma. From the 18th century into the 20th, the
practice of anma was restricted by law to those with particular
physiological trait. What trait?
6. A recent fad among athletes, this therapy is intended to dispel
stagnant energy. Evidence of its use was apparent on Michael
Phelps's skin during the last Olympics. Name it.
7. This therapy, developed in the West but leaning on Oriental
medicine, posits that areas on the soles of the feet correspond
to bodily organs, and that foot massage can treat these organs.
What is this therapy?
8. Since 2013, this branch of Oriental medicine has been regulated
in Ontario. Its name completes the title of "the College of
Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners and"... who?
9. This form of Japanese massage, developed in the 1920s, uses
palm or hands-on healing to transfer "universal energy" from
the practitioner to the patient. Name it.
10. While Thai massage shows significant Chinese influence, its
primary source is the ancient Indian school of medicine which
grew concurrently with Chinese medicine. By what name is
traditional Indian medicine known?
* Game 6, Round 8 - Canadiana Geography - Ontario's Provincial Parks
1. Ontario's largest provincial park is named for Ontario's
largest predator. Name the park.
2. Ontario's only poisonous rattlesnake lends its name to this park,
located on the shores of Georgian Bay. Name the provincial park.
3. Located near the town of Brighton, this popular provincial park
protects a sand spit that extends into Lake Ontario, and which is
"almost an island". Name the park.
4. 1200 pre-Columbian images of native spirituality, including
animals, reptiles, and native shamen have been carved into a
rock dome northeast of Peterborough. The rock has been covered
by a protective building, and photos are prohibited at this
sacred site. Name the park.
5. Sibley Provincial Park changed its name in 1988 to better
reflect its main feature, a group of mesas that resemble a
figure lying on its back, when viewed from a nearby city.
Name the park.
6. Prince Edward County is home to a provincial park which boasts
large dunes and three vast beaches, among them Outlet Beach,
with its gentle gradient and shallow waters. Name the park.
7. The main feature of this provincial park is Mazinaw Rock, whose
cliffs rise straight up 100 m out of the park's eponymous lake,
and is covered with native pictographs. Name the park.
8. Between Lake Nipissing and Georgian Bay along a major fur-trade
route lies this park, which contains the first designated
Canadian Heritage River -- the traditional boundary between
Northern and Southern Ontario. Name the park or the river.
9. Name the park widely known as the "crown jewel" of the Ontario
Park system, famous for its topaz-blue lakes, its brilliantly
white quartzite ridges, the hike to Silver Peak, and the view
from "the Crack".
10. The boundary of Ontario and Minnesota is home to a large
wilderness park, renowned for excellent canoeing on 600 lakes.
The origin of the park's name is unknown, but we can say that
it has nothing at all to do with the Quebec Timber Company,
since no such company has ever existed. Name the park.
