These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2017-09-18,
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 Smith & Guessin' 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 2017-09-25 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".
** Game 1, Round 9 - Science - The Senses
Listen up!
1. This brain center is critical to the integration of the senses,
receiving information from almost all the senses and transmitting
this to the cerebral cortex. Name it.
2. Most senses transmit to the <answer 1>, but there is one that
doesn't. It is the oldest sense to have evolved, and direct
input into the cerebral cortex. This sense is believed to be
reduced in humans due to our large cerebral cortex. Which sense
is it?
3. Meissner corpuscles, Pacinian corpuscles, Merkel cell complexes,
and Rufinni endings are all receptors for one of our senses.
In which organ would you find these mechanoreceptors?
Please decode the rot13 for questions #4-8 only after you have
completed #3.

9. While we learn in school that we only have five senses, in fact
those are just the senses that help us perceive the outside
world. Other senses exist in order to relay information about
ourselves to the brain. What is the scientific name for the
sensing of pain and noxious stimuli in the body?
10. What is the scientific name for the sensing of our body's
positioning in space and sense of movement in muscles?
** Game 1, Round 10 - Challenge Round - Ask Questions First, Shoot Later
To celebrate, if that's the word, Smith & Guessin' takin' on
responsibility for this fall season, here's a challenge round

the National League in 1962 along with the New York Mets?
