These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2015-06-29,
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 in a single followup to the newsgroup,
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 Five Guys Named Moe, 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 2015-08-18 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".
* Game 10, Round 7 - Entertainment - Science-Fiction Movie Posters
Please see the 3-page handout at:
http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb//10-7/poster.pdf
I've rearranged the round in order by poster number. In each case,
we give you the release date and tell you if the movie is a remake,
and you just give the title. The *full* title, that is.
There were 6 decoys, which I've left interspersed with the others;
answer those if you like for fun, but for no points.
1. (decoy)
2. 1927. Hint: it's silent.
3. 1999.
4. (decoy)
5. (decoy)
6. 1973
7. 2005.
8. 1978. It's a remake.
9. 1982. It's a remake.
10. (decoy)
11. 1982.
12. 1973.
13. 1977.
14. 2009.
15. (decoy)
16. (decoy)
*Warning*: Note that although the layout of each page suggests
that the pictures should be numbered by columns, the round's
author actually numbered them by rows to the extent possible.
Before posting, please review all your answers and make sure that
they actually correspond to the same posters as you intended!
* Game 10, Round 8 - Sports - Cy Young / MVP Double Winners
Each year, Major League Baseball salutes the top players in the
American League and the National League. In both leagues, the
Cy Young goes to the best pitcher, while the Most Valuable Player
award is open to players in any position. Only 10 pitchers have
won both awards in the same season. Name them:
1. Starting pitcher, 1956, Brooklyn Dodgers.
2. Starting pitcher, 1963, Los Angeles Dodgers.
3. Starting pitcher, 1968, Detroit Tigers.
4. Starting pitcher, 1968, St. Louis Cardinals.
5. Starting pitcher, 1971, Oakland Athletics.
6. Relief pitcher, 1981, Milwaukee Brewers.
