* Game 7, Round 4 - Science - Black Wild Kingdom
All of the creatures in this round can be black (not always black,
and not necessarily completely black, but often black or mostly
black).
1. These birds have been feared as symbols of death, revered
as creators of the world, and worshipped as trickster gods.
They are extremely intelligent, and have the ability to remember
the human face. What are they?
2. The sable, whose dark winter coat is highly prized, is a member
of which *genus* of mammal?
3. The dark-colored Canadian wolverine is known for its ferocity
and shyness. To what *family* does it belong?
4. A black bear *subspecies* with white-bluish fur is found only
in coastal British Columbia. What name is given to these
light-colored bears?
5. Melanistic leopards and jaguars are black in color due to an
excess of pigment. What collective name is given to them?
6. Mephitis mephitis is colloquially known as a "wood pussy".
But by what other name is this urban animal better known?
7. There are 75 species of this insect in Canada, 57 in Ontario
alone. What is it?
8. Please decode the rot13 only after you have finished with
the previous question. Jvguva 2 qnlf, jung vf gur yvsrfcna bs
n oynpx syl?
9. These large working dogs are well known for their even
temperament and stoic nature. In their country of origin, the
only correct colors for the breed are black, and white and black.
Nana in "Peter Pan" belonged to this breed. What breed?
10. This breed of dog is most often black with white markings on
the chin and chest. It is an intelligent non-shedder with
webbed toes for swimming. The Obamas have two of them, named
Bo and Sunny. What breed?
* Game 7, Round 6 - Sports - Black Marks
Some athletes behave so badly on and off the field that they
leave a shameful black mark on their sport. We'll give you his
sport, his position, and a brief description of his bad behavior.
For questions #1-8, you name the miscreant athlete.
1. Soccer, striker. 2010 World Cup goal-line handball. Diving.
Racially abusing Patrice Evra during an Oct. 2011 game.
Serial biting.
2. Baseball, outfielder. Notorious for sliding into bases
feet first, with spikes high and sharpened. Openly racist
and hot-tempered. Stabbed a black night watchman. Choked an
umpire. Went into the stands to attack a fan whose hands had
been amputated due to an industrial accident.
3. Basketball, shooting guard. Choked his boss (Golden State
Warriors coach P.J. Carlesimo) in 1997. Was suspended for
68 games. Ended his career by rejecting a 3-year, $21,000,000
offer from Minnesota, saying that it wouldn't be enough to feed
his children.
4. Hockey, left wing. Team enforcer for the Flyers, whose forte
was fighting in a back-alley style that included hair-pulling
and biting. Amassed 472 penalty minutes in 1975.
5. Soccer, attacking midfielder. Delivered an infamous head-butt
to Italian Marco Materazzi in the final of the 2006 World Cup.
6. Hockey, defense. Ace Bailey was a Toronto Maple Leaf whose
career abruptly ended in 1933 when he was hit from behind,
struck his head on the ice, and fractured his skull. Name the
Boston Bruin defenseman who delivered the hit.
7. Hockey, left wing. An eponymous rule was created to prohibit
this behavior: he would turn his back to the action and screen
the goalie while standing crotch-to-mask and wildly flailing
his arms and stick.
8. Baseball, second baseman. A controversial "strike 3" call sent
this athlete into a total frenzy. Not only did he blatantly
spit in umpire John Hirschbeck's face, after the game he said
Hirschbeck was bitter because one of his sons had died of AIDS
and another had just been diagnosed.
For #9-10, name the *victim* of the bad behavior.
9. Boxing, heavyweight. In the 3rd round of their heavyweight
rematch, Mike Tyson bit this opponent's ear.
10. Hockey, right wing. On 2004-03-10, in retaliation for an
incident in a previous game, Todd Bertuzzi grabbed this Colorado
Avalanche center's jersey from behind and punched him in the
back of the head, causing three fractured neck vertebrae and
a concussion as they fell to the ice.

The hand-ball thing was actually not that silly given the situation in
the game. Normally, stopping the ball on the goal-line is just stupid.
The other team get a penalty shot and you get a red card and miss the
game as well as the next. But this was the very last minute of overtime.
If he hadn't stopped the ball, Ghana would have scored and qualified
for the semifinal. And next game, who cares? Ghana got the penalty shot,
but Asomoah Gyan missed, and then Uruguay won the penalty shoot-out.
I recall that some people were really upset at the time, but compared
to what happened when Sepp Maier stopped Battiston in the semi-final
in 1982 this was a breeze.

Oh, Matterazzi! The tournament became a lot more, well, interesting,
when Alessandro Nesta got wounded, and Matterazzi had to take his
place. Zidane hardly deserves to have a black overall, but his exit
from world football, was, well, not really the expected.

back-alley-style fighting and who had amassed 472 penalty minutes in

I dunno. If *I* had a jersey belonging to someone whose forte was
back-alley-style fighting and who had amassed 472 penalty minutes in
one season (or one year, as applicable), I don't think I'd want to
admit it publicly. Even if he's not around to reclaim it, don't

Crows (accepting ravens or corvids). 4 for Joshua, Jason, Dan Blum,
Calvin, Marc, Bruce, Björn, Erland, Peter, Stephen, and Dan Tilque.

Martes (the martens). 4 for Bruce and Stephen.

Mustelidae (the weasels or mustelids). The martens are also in this
family. 4 for Pete, Dan Blum, Marc, Bruce, Stephen, and Dan Tilque.
3 for Björn.

Spirit bears (also ghost bears, kermode bears, or glacier bears).

Skunk (or polecat). Also accepting civet cat (a term used for

Mosquito. 4 for Marc and Stephen.

This question was actually irrelevant to the previous one, but
I wanted to give everyone an unbiased opportunity to go wrong by
guessing "black fly" for answer 7, as the Suspects did in our game.

You can find people calling them Portuguese water spaniels on the
Internet, but it's not an official name for the breed. I decided
to score that answer as almost correct.

In consequence (as I mentioned in a comment to Game 9, Round 10,
of the previous season), Bailey became the first Leaf -- and indeed
the first NHL player -- to have his number retired.
