* Game 007, Round 4 - Geography - James Bond Locations
1. In "Moonraker", Bond engages in a boat chase with the assassin
Jaws that ends with Jaws going over Iguassu Falls. This massive
cataract with the 6th-highest annual water flow of any waterfall
is second only in length and size to Victoria Falls, and is
located on the border of *which two South American countries*?
2. After hang-gliding over Iguassu Falls, Bond follows a beautiful
woman through the jungle to a secret pyramid. Although in the
movie the falls and the pyramid are only a few minutes away
from each other, in the real world the pyramid is a part of the
ancient Mayan city of Tikal -- which can be found today in what
Central American country?
3. In "From Russia With Love", Bond meets with his contact Kerim
Bey inside of a large Byzantine structure in Istanbul that has
been at one time or another a Greek Orthodox cathedral, a Roman
Catholic cathedral, and an imperial mosque. It was the largest
cathedral in the world for over 1,000 years, but it's now the
second-most-visited museum in Turkey. What is its name?
4. In "The Man With the Golden Gun", James Bond visits MI6's Hong
Kong headquarters, located in a a half-sunken shipwreck in
Hong Kong harbor. The ship in question was commissioned for
the Cunard line and launched in 1939 when it was the largest
passenger liner in the world -- a record it would hold at least
until it caught fire and sank in 1973. Name the ship.
5. In "Goldfinger", Goldfinger's evil scheme is to irradiate the
US gold bullion supply, thus increasing the value of his
own gold. This requires a daring raid on the US Gold Bullion
Depository located on an army base in *what US state*?
6. The opening sequence in "The World is Not Enough" takes place
in Bilbao, Spain -- mostly because the filmmakers wanted to
get a shot of James Bond walking by the Frank-Gehry-designed
Bilbao branch of *what museum*?
7. Ian Fleming wrote all of the James Bond books at his home,
which he named Goldeneye. On *what Caribbean island*, location
of the very first James Bond movie, "Dr. No", is Goldeneye
located?
8. In "Diamonds are Forever", assassins Wint and Kidd take snapshots
as the body of their latest victim Mrs. Whistler is pulled from
a river. Says Mr. Kidd, "Mrs. Whistler did want some pictures of
the canals for the children". Responds Mr. Wint, "the children
will be thrilled". In *which European city* is this scene?
9. This city is currently the only European capital city that sits
on a border with two different sovereign nations. (For clarity:
the city is the capital of its own country *and* it borders
with *two other* countries.) No wonder James Bond used it
as a staging point to help Soviet defector Koskov escape
Czechoslovakia in 1987's "The Living Daylights". Name this
capital city.
10. In "License to Kill", M confronts Bond in the Florida home
of a famous author; Bond resigns from the Secret Service
and M demands that he hand over his gun. Quips James Bond,
"I guess this is a farewell to arms". What *city* are they in?
* Game 007, Round 5 - Audio
No, you're not getting the audio round this week, but I can't
resist posting the preamble to it:
The new Bond movie is called "Spectre". The movie is named after
that villainous murderous criminal organization, SPECTRE. Here are
10 songs that were produced by that villainous murderous criminal,
Phil Spector.
(Cf. Game 10, Round 10, of the previous season, question #E2.)
* Game 007, Round 6 - History - Real-Life Spies
1. American intelligence analyst Jonathan Jay Pollard was sentenced
to life imprisonment for stealing thousands of documents from the
US Navy in the mid-1980s. What country was Pollard spying for?
2. This sublieutenant in Royal Canadian Navy intelligence
started selling secret information to the Russian GRU in 2007,
and wasn't caught until 2011. In 2013, he was sentenced to
20 years imprisonment. Name the man.
3. Although not a spy himself, this physicist was the guiding force
behind a network which disseminated Pakistani nuclear secrets
to nations such as Iran, North Korea, and Libya. Name the man.
4. Rudolf Abel was a KGB agent who was captured by the FBI.
Abel was exchanged for an American, on a Berlin bridge in 1962.
Name that American, portrayed in a recent movie adaptation by
Austin Stowell.
There was no question 5 in the round as prepared for the original
game, and while the Irregulars did come up with an emergency
substitute question after the game started, I'll present the round
here without that addition.
6. In one of the biggest spy scandals in the UK, War Secretary
John Profumo resigned in disgrace after it was discovered that
the showgirl he was seeing was also seeing GRU agent Yevgeni
Ivanov. Name the showgirl who brought down Profumo.
7. Bulgarian dissident Georgi Markov was assassinated on a London
street in 1978. The cause of death was a micro-engineered pellet
containing ricin, but what was the unusual delivery mechanism?
8. In another assassination, fugitive Russian FSB agent Alexander
Litvinenko was killed by KGB agents who served him poisoned tea.
With what radioactive element was it poisoned?
9. At 6'2", this American woman was too tall to serve in the regular
forces so she joined the OSS during World War II and served in
Ceylon (Sri Lanka) and later in China. Her first TV show had its
debut on PBS and ran for ten years. Name this OSS agent, better
known to us from books and TV, and depicted in a 2009 movie.
10. This British agent served in Germany and Russia during World
War I. During the Russian Revolution, he was responsible for
an attempted coup against the Bolsheviks, for which he was
executed by the OGPU in 1925. He was the inspiration for James
Bond and for a 1983 miniseries starring Sam Neill. Name this
"ace of spies".

Yeah, there are not many pyramides around down there. And not much jungle
either. Well, just around the falls where there are national parks on both
sides, the vegetation is quite dense. But for the rest, at least on the
Argentinian side, the forest consists of fast-growing trees being planted
in strict regiment and the soil in between is kept from other vegetation
that could compete.

Paraguay was close; its triple point with the other two countries
is a river junction only about 15 miles downstream from the falls.
Uruguay is quite a bit farther away, and Venezula and Chile are
right out.

RMS "Queen Elizabeth", later just "Elizabeth" and finally "Seawise
University". 4 for Dan Tilque and Stephen. 3 for Pete.
"Queen Elizabeth I" is wrong; the ship never had a number in its
name and it was named after the 20th-century Queen Elizabeth who
became the Queen Mother, not the 16th-century one now called Queen
Elizabeth I. (This also explains why the later ship named after this
one was the "Queen Elizabeth 2" rather than "Queen Elizabeth II".)
But I suspect that at least some of our QMs would have accepted this
answer, so it seemed to be fairest to score it as almost correct.
