These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2015-11-16,
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 Bloor St. Irregulars,
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 8, Round 2 - Miscellaneous - A League of Our Own
Your humble quizmasters this season are called the Bloor Street
Irregulars. This name is a play on the "Baker Street Irregulars"
from the Sherlock Holmes books. Here are 10 general knowledge
questions inspired by 10 of the team names from the league.
We hope your team name gets mentioned, but please don't feel bad
if it isn't.
1. *Frankly Scarlett.* In 2005, the American Film Institute listed
"Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn" as the greatest American
movie quote of all time. The second- and third-greatest quotes,
according to their list, were spoken by the same actor in two
different movies, 18 years apart. Name that *actor*.
2. Please complete question #1 before decoding the rot13 for #2.
*Svir Thlf Anzrq Zbr.* Fcrnxvat bs "Gur Tbqsngure", Zbr Terrar

cbjreshy pevzr betnavmngvbaf gb juvpu HF pvgl?
3. *Footloose and Firkin Free.* The incredible 1984 movie
"Footloose" tells the inspiring story of Ren McCormack, an
upbeat Chicago teen, who moves to the small town of Bomont, where
dancing and rock music have been banned by the local minister.
Which actor -- who also played the bad guy in "Cliffhanger" and
a season of "Dexter" -- played the role of Reverend Shaw Moore?
4. *Five Easy Pieces.* Jack Nicholson has been nominated for Best
Actor at the Oscars 8 times, and has won twice. This means
he has lost 6 times, including for the 1970 movie "Five Easy
Pieces". Name *any one of the other 5* movies for which Jack
Nicholson was nominated for Best Actor, but *did not win*.
5. *Unnatural Axxxe.* "Unnatural Acts" is synonymous with "Crimes
against Nature". The term dates back to the Buggery Act of 1533.
Who was the English monarch who gave royal assent to this law?
6. *MI5.* The term MI5 originated as shorthand for Britain's
Military Intelligence, Section 5. They deal with domestic
threats and counterintelligence. "MI5" is still used today as
a nickname, but today the agency is officially known by what
alliterative two-word name?
7. *Ad Hawks and Doves.* In monetary policy in economics, a hawk
emphasizes low inflation as the top priority. By contrast,
a dove believes that the top priority is low *what*?
8. *nicholheads.* In the US, which president's head will you
find on the nickel?
9. *Bill Psychs.* Bill Psychs is a play on Bill Sikes, a character
from Charles Dickens's "Oliver Twist". Which actor played Bill
Sikes in the 1968 movie "Oliver!"?
10. *Night Owls.* And finally, what is the name of the owl gifted
to Harry Potter on his 11th birthday by Rubeus Hagrid?
* Game 8, Round 3 - Art - The Group of Seven
On 29 June 1995, Canada Post issued 10 stamps, each based on a
painting by one member of the group (the 7 original members and
3 more).
In each case, just give the word missing from the title, according
to the clue we provide.
1. "_____ Gold" by Franklin Carmichael. It's a month.
2. "A _____ Gale, Georgian Bay" by Arthur Lismer. It's a month.
3. "Falls, _____ River" by J.E.H. MacDonald. It's a Canadian city.
4. "North of Lake _____" by Lawren Harris. It's one of the
Great Lakes.
5. "_____ Houses" by A.J. Casson. This one is also the surname
of an English philosopher who developed the hierarchy of
pleasures in Utilitarianism.
6. "Open _____" by Frederick Varley. It's part of a building.
7. "_____, Lake of the Woods" by Frank Johnston. Frank Costanza
wants this now. It's 8 letters long.
8. "_____, Les Éboulements" by A.Y. Jackson. The word is in
English, 7 letters long, and it's a time of the day.
9. "Pembina _____" by LeMoine FitzGerald. It's a geographic
feature. 6 letters.
10. "The _____" by Edwin Holgate. Monty Python fans probably like
this one the best. It's 10 letters.

"I coulda been a contender!" from "On the Waterfront" (1954), and
"I'm going to make him an offer he can't refuse" from "The Godfather"
(1972).
Wrong answers included Humphrey Bogart (on the list 5 times, but the
highest is #5, "Here's looking at you, kid"), Clark Gable (only on
list once, at #1), and Jack Nicholson (twice, the highest being #29,
"You can't handle the truth!").

(1985), "Ironweed" (1987), "About Schmidt" (2002). 4 for Joshua
(the hard way) and Stephen.
His Best Actor wins were for "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" (1975)
and "As Good as it Gets" (1997); he also won the Best *Supporting*
Actor Oscar for "Terms of Endearment" (1983). He was also nominated
for -- but didn't win -- Best Supporting Actor for "Easy Rider"
(1969), "Reds" (1981), and "A Few Good Men" (1992).

"Secret Service" is wrong, although there was a Secret Service
Bureau in Britain before World War_I. This was then incorporated
into Military Intelligence and divided into MI5 and MI6. MI6, which
operates outside Britain, is now officially the Secret Intelligence
Service.
In fiction, James Bond is an MI6 agent. In real life, both agencies
have web sites today. The MI5 web site includes an FAQ page
http://www.mi5.gov.uk/home/about-us/faqs-about-mi5.html
that states that there is no such thing as a license to kill.
The MI6 web site... has nothing like that on it.

In fiction, James Bond is an MI6 Intelligence Officer. No-one who works
for MI6 is an agent, except maybe someone who's passing MI6's secrets to
the Crown's enemies.
